Goodbye United States, Lionel Messi receives the worst news hours before the official debut

Lionel Messi is now officially an Inter Miami footballer. The captain of the Argentine National Team signed his contract of 50 million dollars per season on Saturday and now everything is ready for the mega event of a presentation that promises to go down in history to take place. Now, although the announcement excited all the fans, the team was later defeated and then Tata Martino worried all Leo's fans when referring to his possible debut.

The Argentine coach spoke in a conference after losing to Saint Louis and said: "We are happy that the signing of the contract is made official today. We would have liked to be able to give him a win for that presentation, and we have not been able to. Then, looking to the future , with the excitement of having the best player in the world playing on your team, but also with the patience you need to have him physically prepared to play at the right time".

In this way, Tata left Messi's official premiere date up in the air and now his presence in the clash next Friday, July 21, against Cruz Azul for the Leagues Cup is a mystery. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), for his part, has been training since Thursday at the club to arrive.

The fans already paid for the tickets

If Lionel Messi does not make his debut against the Cement Machine next Friday, it will be a great disappointment for thousands of fans who spent good money to witness what, in theory, will be the premiere of '10' with the Garzas.
