Lionel Messi is set to join Inter Miami following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports Wednesday. The Argentine soccer legend—widely considered to be the greatest ever to play the sport—turned down a bigger money deal to go to Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal, Spanish soccer journalist Guillem Balagué reports.

The 35-year-old, who led Argentina to glory at the 2022 World Cup, was reportedly tempted to move to Miami by the lifestyle and a deal with brands outside the sport. Barcelona fans had hoped Messi would make a romantic return to their club following his departure from Spain in 2021.
