In a monumental move that could alter the course of Major League Soccer, Lionel Messi has decided to sign with Inter Miami, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.
Neither Messi nor Miami has announced a decision or details of their agreement, but after two days of momentum, and after a years-long pursuit, MLS and Miami appear to have won a three-horse race to sign the world's greatest player.
The deal likely and reportedly includes commercial contracts with Apple and Adidas, two key MLS partners. It also could give Messi an option to purchase a minority stake in Inter Miami.
