Marca reports that Inter Miami have set July 16 as the official unveiling date at the DRV PNK Stadium. Messi's former teammate, Sergio Busquets, will also be presented to fans on that day.

Ahead of the arrival of the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, murals and graphics of the Argentine have continued to go up in Florida, with legendary midfielder, Beckham, playing a part in the latest one.

In a video filmed and shared by his wife, Victoria, the former Manchester United midfielder and also Inter Miami's co-owner is spotted in the lift of a big crane, putting the final touches on the Messi painting.

Mrs. Beckham couldn't contain her excitement as she gushed over her husband's apparent artistic talents.

"So I think that David has done a really good job of painting Messi here in Miami. We've only been here for a few days; he got straight to it. Look, it's massive. Is there nothing David Beckham can't do? He's up there painting away. I am impressed," she joked.

Lionel Messi still on holiday

At the same time, as Sports Brief reported, Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, gave fans a peek at their final vacation before they return to the United States.

Sports Brief reported that Messi is currently taking it easy on vacation in the Caribbean before he helps the MLS reacher new heights in global football.

As seen in the photos on Instagram, the Argentine football legend was spotted enjoying the sun-drenched beaches with his wife and childhood sweetheart.
