New Inter Miami football club signing, Lionel Messi was officially introduced to fans in an event that went down yesterday night, at Fort Lauderdale’s DRV PNK Stadium, Florida.
The 2022 world cup winner with the Argentine national team will be at the club until the end of the 2025 season earning an average of $55m a year, equivalent to KShs. 7, 782,500,000. (7B).
Football fans and pundits alike, are hoping the 36 year old will replicate his form at Barcelona, where he cemented his legacy as one of football’s best, if not the greatest of all time. In 2016, Messi was accused of owing the Spanish Treasury more than $4m (KShs. 566,000,000), for income earned between 2007 and 2009. He had to resolve this situation because it had put his career at risk at Barcelona.
