Inter Miami is getting ready for Lionel Messi's MLS debut. Now, the club surprises after signing Busquets and most likely Jordi Alba in the Florida team. However, another big star, who went on to fail at Manchester United, refused to play in MLS and confirms his new team. Something that will not go down too well with Messi.

 

The Argentina winger, who scored one of the Albiceleste's goals in the World Cup final against France, was confirmed as Benfica's new signing. This marked his return to the first club he played for in Europe after his successful debut at Rosario Central.

During his presentation, the former Real Madrid, Manchester United and PSG player revealed the reason that triggered his return to Portuguese soccer, despite the fact that the United States wanted him to join Lionel Messi to form a team that could win the MLS with the presence of the two world champions.

 

Did Di Maria want to return to Benfica in the summer?

Although he was tempted to play with La Pulga in North American soccer, Di Maria revealed why he turned down Inter Miami. "I had many proposals (not only from the United States, as he was tempted from Saudi Arabia), but I had the illusion, the desire and the enthusiasm to return home. Honestly, I chose with my heart. That is the reality.
