According to respected journalist Guillem Balague, who is close to the tiny magician, the Argentinian will continue his career in Miami

Legendary Lionel Messi will join MLS side Inter Miami, highly-respected Spanish football journalist and pundit Guillem Balague announced on Wednesday afternoon.

"Messi has decided. His destination: Inter Miami," Balague wrote on Twitter.

As the things stand, the former Barcelona player is set to reject a more lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal after his exit from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

As per BBC, he wanted to stay in Europe for another season but, after no satisfactory offers were received, he had the straight choice between Inter Miami or Al-Hilal.

He was heavily tipped to be favouring a move to Saudi Arabia, where he would have joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the league in a deal that could not be matched financially.

But Messi was ultimately tempted to Major League Soccer side Inter Miami for a variety of reasons including lifestyle, and a deal with big brands that extends beyond football.

He already owns a house in Miami, which he currently rents out.

Messi was keen on a return to Barcelona this summer but the Financial Fair Play limitations that will be in place for next season in La Liga made any ambitious plan to bring him back an impossibility.
