The eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient relocated to the United States in the summer of 2023 following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent. Upon joining his new team, he swiftly propelled them to victory in the Leagues Cup shortly after his arrival. Unfortunately, an injury setback hindered Inter Miami’s chances of securing a spot in the MLS playoffs.

After concluding his domestic season, Messi participated in international duties with Argentina, culminating in his last match for the 2022 World Cup champions against Brazil at the Maracana on November 21. Following a visit to his home country for the festive season, Messi is now en route to Florida.

Reported by TyC Sports, Messi and his family left Argentina for Fort Lauderdale at approximately 11 pm last Saturday. They are now settling back into their extravagant waterfront residence, which they acquired shortly after arriving in the U.S.

Messi’s next match won’t be until January 19, almost two months after his previous game, when Inter Miami faces El Salvador in a friendly. The team’s schedule also includes matches against a Hong Kong Select XI, Vissel Kobe, FC Dallas, and Newell’s Old Boys, as well as meetings with Al-Hilal and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr at the Riyadh Cup.
