Storm causes delay in Messi’s offer at Inter Miami

MOSCOW, July 17 – The official presentation of the Argentine national team player, Lionel Messi, to the new club – Inter Miami – was postponed due to a severe storm and thunderstorm, according to the club’s Twitter page.

Inter Miami announced the signing of Messi on Saturday. The presentation of the 36-year-old forward was supposed to take place on Sunday at the team’s stadium in Fort Lauderdale (Florida).

“We have a delay due to inclement weather. Guest safety is our top priority. If you are already at the stadium, please stay in your car,” the message read.

According to Marca, the oncoming journalists and fans are trying to hide from a thunderstorm under umbrellas near the stadium.

And earlier, the French “Paris Saint-Germain” announced Messi’s departure at the end of the season due to the expiration of the contract.

As part of Paris Saint-Germain, Messi twice became the French champion and won the country’s Super Cup. The Argentine is the world champion, the winner of the America’s Cup and seven times the Golden Ball.
