Messi speaks out before Inter Miami transfer, explains Barca snub.

Lionel Messi has revealed that he will be joining Inter Miami instead of returning to Barcelona, which was his dream. The football legend admitted that he has been unhappy at PSG but feared that Barcelona would have to sell players or reduce salaries to fit him in, and had concerns about the deal going through. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner surprised many by choosing David Beckham’s MLS side Miami over a bigger-money Saudi move. Messi believes that his move to the MLS will help him rediscover joy on and off the pitch. Barcelona later responded to the interview with their own statement, which was slammed by fans for appearing to patronize the club legend.
