Lionel Messi, widely considered among the greatest soccer players of all time, is heading to Inter Miami.  This could change the face of Major League Soccer in the US.

The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain superstar announced on Wednesday that he is heading to the States.

Messi's contract with PSG expires at the end of this month.

From ESPN:

Commercially, Messi will bring eyeballs to U.S. domestic soccer like nobody before him. More than Beckham, more than Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- and for old-timers, more than Johan Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer and Pele, if only because we live in a far more connected world today. Messi is not a natural pitchman, lacking both Ibrahimovic's quotability and Beckham's charisma, but hey: he's Messi. He delivered the World Cup for Argentina less than six months ago, he has seven Ballons d'Or at home (winning the last of those 18 months ago) and he has scored more than 800 goals for club and country in his career.

Inter Miami currently has the second longest odds to win the MLS Cup in 2023.

Messi's next matches are likely to be exhibitions with Argentina against Australia on June 15 at Beijing and at Indonesia in Jakarta four days later — and then his Inter Miami debut figures to be sometime in July.
