For weeks, soccer fans around the world have eagerly awaited the presentation of Lionel Messi as an Inter Miami player. The time has finally come, with the event set to take place on Sunday, July 16. As anticipation builds, the club has already secured a top-tier performer to grace the stage.

Initially, rumors swirled about the possibility of Shakira, a renowned international artist, headlining the event. However, recent sightings of Shakira at Wimbledon watching Carlos Alcaraz?s masterclass dispelled these rumors. It seems that fans will have to wait for another opportunity to see Shakira set the stage ablaze. In the meantime, the spotlight shines brightly on Abel Pintos, who will be the star to light up this Super Bowl-like presentation.

The presence of Abel Pintos at Messi’s presentation is expected to add an extra layer of joy to the festivities. However, it must be acknowledged that replacing Shakira’s charisma and global appeal will be no easy task. And as for the Colombian singer, she had plans of her own to attend.

Shakira couldn’t miss Alcaraz?s masterclass

Shakira has been quite busy in recent weeks, embarking on a series of travels. She has attended numerous Grand Prix events and even enjoyed a vacation in Costa Rica alongside Tom Brady‘s wife. Most recently, she made her way to London to witness the thrilling Wimbledon match between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev.
