Ripped Contract After Questioning Lionel Messi’s Signing, Ex-Inter Miami Star Signs With San Antonio-Based Franchise

Lionel Messi’s arrival for Inter Miami proved to be a highly impactful signing for this season. However, a former goalkeeper raised doubt about the Argentine’s transfer before having his contract terminated with the Herons. Furthermore, the Dutch star signed up with a Texas-based club to further his career in American soccer.

The former Feyenoord goalie experienced a sudden change in circumstances after playing 45 games for Inter Miami. Previously, he was highlighted for making audacious claims about La Pulga’s signing in South Florida. Meanwhile, the 32-year goalkeeper embarked on a new beginning with a San Antonio-based franchise in the twilight of his career.

Ex-Inter Miami star joins a new club this season

Nick Marsman signed a loan deal with San Antonio FC this season. In 2021, the Dutch star joined Inter Miami for $770,000 after a stellar career in Eredivisie. However, Marsman became a free agent after his contract ended prematurely within two years of his tenure with the Herons. Nevertheless, the USL championship opened fresh prospects for the goalkeeper in this ongoing season.

San Antonio FC applauded Marsman’s wealth of European and MLS experience while announcing him to their squad. The former Twente FC star had 7 clean sheets during his time with the Leagues Cup champions. On the contrary, the $661,000 rated Dutchmen raised eyebrows questioning Inter Miami’s readiness to welcome the world champion, causing shockwaves among the club officials.

Marsman doubted the Herons’ decision on Lionel Messi

MLS allows the ability for the clubs to terminate any contract during a season with immediate effect. Beckham’s side created room in their wage bills by terminating Nick Marsman from their roaster. The Herons substituted the goalkeeper with a US talent, Drake Callender, this season. Nonetheless, fans believed that the Dutchman’s candid remark on the 7x Ballon d’Or winner was a catalyst for this turn of fortunes within two seasons with Inter Miami.

Previously, Nick Marsman was vocal about the shortcomings of the Herons’ infrastructure and their unpreparedness in establishing an environment for La Pulga in the States. He said, “I personally think that this club is not ready for Messi’s arrival. We have a temporary stadium. People can just walk on the pitch. We also leave for the stadium without security. I think they aren’t ready. But I hope he comes”. However, Messi managed to alter the soccer dynamics of Inter Miami months after his arrival, securing their first-ever trophy and ending their 11-match losing streak in MLS.
