Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi will join American club Inter Miami, where former footballer David Beckham has invested, following his departure from French champions Paris St-Germain. This is reported by the »BBC« and Miguel Delaney, football reporter at »The Independent«.

Messi rejects a more lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal for the time being.

The contract in Miami includes collaborations with brands such as Adidas and Apple.

The 35-year-old striker has already been named the best player in the world seven times. It would be the first time that Barcelona icon Messi plays outside Europe.
