Although Leo's priority was always to continue in Europe, from the United States they seem to have convinced him.

When it seemed that Barcelona had taken a big step towards the signing of Lionel Messi with the approval of La Liga for his economic plan, now all the paths for the Rosario point to Inter Miami. Some journalists and portals began to confirm it from Tuesday night and, with the passing of the hours, the arrival of the captain of the Argentine National Team to the MLS takes more force.

From the beginning, the priority of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) was to return to Barça, but the Catalan team was not able to give him guarantees and had not yet been able to present a formal offer. This, added to the fact that Leo wants to make a decision before the Albiceleste's tour of Asia, would have led to a yes for the United States club.

Now, it is a reality that MLS is a minor league in terms of competitiveness and even Inter is last in its conference. However, there is a key factor that led Messi to lean towards the offer of the American team. It is worth mentioning that it is not about money, since in Al-Hilal they offered him 1,200 million euros for two seasons, an amount that in the USA they cannot give him.

What was the key factor that would have led Messi to accept Inter Miami's offer?

According to the journalist Ben Jacobs, what prompted Messi to opt for the Inter Miami option was the feeling that he believes it is the best for his family, in addition to the fact that he already owns a property in that city, which is an advantage over to other destinations where he would have to start looking for a house and make a much bigger move.
