The unveiling ceremony is also expected to feature the introduction of Sergio Busquets, who has already been confirmed as part of the Inter Miami team. There are even rumors of a possible agreement with former Barcelona defender Jordi Alba, which could be finalized in the coming hours.
Meanwhile, Gerardo Martino is finalizing the formalities to officially take on the role of the club's new head coach. Until then, the team remains under the guidance of interim coach Javier Morales.
The chosen date, July 16, has been carefully selected to ensure that DRV PNK Stadium is available for the event, as Inter Miami will play an away game against St. Louis City the day before in the 26th round of the MLS. This allows the stadium to be fully prepared for the grand unveiling.
If everything goes according to plan, Messi's debut with Inter Miami is expected to take place on Friday, July 21, at home in Fort Lauderdale, against Mexico's Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.
Although the team currently faces challenges in the MLS standings, occupying the last place in their group, there is renewed hope with the imminent arrival of their star signings and head coach. With 14 more games to play, Inter Miami still has the opportunity to secure a spot in the playoffs. Additionally, Messi could quickly lift his first trophy as the team will compete in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals against Cincinnati at the end of August. The Leagues Cup, featuring teams from both MLS and Mexican soccer, is also on Inter Miami's horizon in the coming weeks.
The stage is set for Lionel Messi's grand unveiling as he embarks on his journey with Inter Miami, captivating the city of Miami and football fans worldwide.
The revelation will be an event that all of Miami and the world will want to witness!
