Messi will make his debut against the Mexican Blue Cross on July 7. He will sign a contract with Miami International until 8, but can be terminated every year.

The team is still planning other blockbuster signings, currently Di Maria, Suarez, Busquets, Paredes and so on. Miami International hopes to build a new competitive team around Messi, while enhancing its influence and value, and making Messi's debut in the United States feel lonely and strange. It is also reported that former Argentina and Barca boss Martino will coach Internacional Miami.
