Lionel Messi is on the verge of becoming an Inter Miami player officially after he jetted into the US to seal the move.

The legendary forward has been without a club after he ended his spell with Paris Saint-Germain after the conclusion of the 2022/23 season.

Messi was initially linked with an emotional reunion with Barcelona after his stint with PSG, but the transfer did not materialise.

The World Cup-winning star instead chose to move to the Major League Soccer, with the imminent move confirmed more than a month ago, per Express UK.
