Ever since Lionel Messi‘s move to Inter Miami, the world has been shaken up by the news. Although most fans are excited to watch Messi’s impact on the MLS, some have shown concern about the transfer. The move will make Messi the highest-paid athlete on US soil.

Interestingly, the rival club manager doesn’t seem to be shaken about facing the World Cup Champion and is focused more on their upcoming match.
