com/mT8daiYK2g — FCB Albiceleste (@FCBAlbiceleste) July 14, 2023 Inter Miami has still not technically signed or revealed Messi as a player for the club, but he’s set to be unveiled this Sunday and to make his debut on July 21 against Cruz Azul in the MLS/Liga MX competition: the Leagues Cup. Messi has already started getting acclimated to his environment, being spotted Thursday evening at the popular grocery store chain Publix. His arrival has also led to companies producing products dedicated or inspired by him – including the Hard Rock Cafe, which revealed the ‘Made for You by Leo Messi’ meal featuring a chicken sandwich.

Messi already had a burger launched in conjunction with the music themed restaurant. The Argentine departed French giants Paris Saint-Germain after a season where he underperformed – often met with jeers and boos from the PSG faithful. But Messi will likely feel right at home in Miami – where he already owned a residence prior to his Inter move.

He’ll also reportedly be joined by former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba at Inter Miami.
