Inter Miami failed to qualify for the playoffs this season despite the immediate impact from Lionel Messi. They ended their campaign with a 1-0 loss against Charlotte FC. However, the positive aspect of this season is that Messi is playing in a happy atmosphere with his new club and is enjoying his time. Now, a 19-year-old Inter Miami star has also revealed that Argentine captain sang at the team dinner.
Lionel Messi will not join any European club in the off-season. This is also because he wants to spend more time with his family in Miami and also stay fit for the Argentina national team. The Argentinian star player will also travel to France to pick up his potentially 8th Ballon d’Or in his soccer career.

The World Cup winner made a brilliant start to his Inter-Miami career. The soccer star almost inspired his team from the last position to the play-offs. The MLS and Inter Miami have also enjoyed profits from signing Messi. Further, there is an increase in viewership, as well as an increase in the live audience. However, amid all this, Messi is also enjoying his time with his teammates. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old Inter Miami star player has revealed Lionel Messi is a great person to have at the team dinner.
Inter Miami’s 19-year-old star player Edison Azcona has revealed that Lionel Messi sang at the team dinner. He further said, “Messi sang at a dinner for us on the first trip he had with the team. DeAndre Yedlin and Víctor Ulloa were in charge of encouraging him. They were saying they had to sing and joking. First, Jordi went to sing, Busquets also and Leo went last. I have not heard Leo speak English. Sometimes, he has said ‘Good morning’ when he arrives, but those who speak English and do not know Spanish are learning to speak Spanish.”
Inter Miami will now hope that the signings of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba help them rise to the top in Major League Soccer from the next season. The manager Gerardo Martino has also said in an interview that the club will have to rebuild from the next season to become title challengers next season.

There are expectations that signing Lionel Messi was the first step for Inter Miami in their rebuild. The MLS side wants to sign more world-class foreign players for their next season. If the reports are to be believed, Luis Suarez is likely going to become their new signing as their main striker. Suarez will not renew his contract with Brazilian club Gremio. And this will make it easy for Inter Miami to sign him on a free transfer after he expressed his interest in finishing his playing career with his best friend Lionel Messi.
Inter Miami owner David Beckham is also ready to invest money in new signings during the off-season. The club is also preparing an offer to sign Luka Modric on a free transfer. The Croatian midfielder is unlikely to extend his contract with Real Madrid. However, the midfielder also has an offer from the Saudi League. Lionel Messi’s former Barcelona teammate Sergio Roberto is also linked to a move to Inter Miami this summer transfer window.
