He is joining Cristiano for some more of that sweet Oil money, isn't he?
I read he's been offered a 2 year £1.2b contract - and most of that will probably be tax free through companies etc. I don't care how much money you have, £1.2b would be too good to turn down. What would playing for Inter Miami do his career? Might as well go earn yourself 1.2B than play as both leagues are a joke.
If he had moved to Saudi at 30, I'd be shouting at my screen and I think his reputation would have been damaged a bit. But at 35, most footballers (attackers / midfielders) have retired by then as their bodies can't cope with the daily stress and their skill doesn't allow them to play at the top level anymore (or any pro who's job is that of an athlete NFL / NBA / Athletics etc). He's just won the world cup at 35 but probably come at a cost physically. Moving to Barca I feel would just ruin his reputation again as we'd see a shadow on what he was there.
To sum it up, he's won everything that there is to be won, a god among footballers for decades to come and him lifting the WC at 35 was the icing on a fecking big cake. If we were in ancient Greece, he'd have statues made of him all across the Greek islands, temples built after him with Spartan warriors protecting the road he walked on and the vestal virgins protecting vials of his sperm for future cloning.
Messi can go to Saudi and earn whatever he wants after everything he has given the world of football for the last 18-19 years.
