‘I didn’t want to leave Barcelona for Paris, moving to Miami is different’ – Messi

Argentinian striker Lionel Messi hinted that his transition from “Barcelona” V “Paris Saint Germain” in the summer of 2021 was a necessary measure, unlike the transfer to “Inter-Miami” .

The striker played for the Catalan club from 2003 to 2021 and won 35 trophies with them. He was ready to stay and was negotiating a new contract, but the parties failed to reach an agreement and Messi moved to PSG, also changing his place of residence.

“My departure for Paris was not something that I wanted. I did not want to leave Barcelona, ​​it happened spontaneously. I had to get used to a new place of residence, completely different from the one where I lived my whole life, both at city level and from a sporting point of view. It turned out to be a difficult experience, – France Presse quoted Messi as saying.

After two seasons, the Argentinian left the Parisian club and joined Inter Miami, which plays in the North American league MLS.

“It’s different now. I can say that I am very satisfied with the decision, it does not only apply to the game. Together with my family, we enjoy the city (Miami – ed.) and life here. It’s a new experience for us, we had an incredible welcome.”

To date, Messi has made six appearances for Inter Miami, in which he has scored 9 goals. On August 20, he can win his new team’s first cup: Inter Miami will play in the League Cup final against Nashville.
