Impressive, I want to see Messi's debut...greetings from South America
The truth is that Messi is incredible because he rejected an offer of 400 million dollars to play in Arabia for a year and now he is going to play for a club that is not in the best positions in the table and he said that he made that decision thinking of his family and so to be able to spend more and better times with them if that is not humility I don't know what is
Incredible guy men. And he rejected 1.4 billion
Hello dear.
Well it's more loyalty and unselfishness.
American media u better treat him well .... u wont b witnessing someone like him anytime soon in this century
Probably never. French media were disgusting. They mocked and lambasted him from the outset.
They and PSG are the villains of his incredible story.
This is amazing. I live in STL and we just built a new stadium. Tickets went from $60 uo to $260
friend, when Messi's arrival at the club is finalized, I assure you that the tickets will be sold out when they go on sale because many Messi fans will go to see him play at least once, so go get the tickets for the entire season before and I think it will be a revolution in the entire league and I think it could be said that David Beckham found a 4-leaf clover 5 times in a row because the amount of money that will enter the club will be a record and just talking about the sale of shirts, in Paris all The stores ran out of stock by selling only the Messi 30 shirt
260? Bruh I know what USA did with F1. Hoard those tickets, if you want to make quick bucks. Every toursist from all corners of the world will want to witness Messi.
@@toothlezz16 3000 now
How many sits there?
US Women Football about to demand to be payed same as messi soon. 😂😂😂
Facts 😂😂😂
😂😂
he didn’t refuse the 1.3 billion dollars for a 2 year contract for a tv subscription or adidas deals whatsoever 🙄 he went there purely for the safety of his family
Saudi Arabia is a 100 time more safe than the US. What are you talking about ? If you said difference of culture, since Miami is very tempting for Latinos like Messi as he doesn't need to adapt a lot may be , but safety of his family ? you seem like the typical ignorant American
Eh he would have had the tip top security if he lived there but at the end of the day it's still much nicer to live in Miami over Dirka Sandland.
I don't think it's safety. Quite frankly, I'm worried about the US. So many guns, so many crazies, so much shooting. A disgruntled fan or opposite team's fan.... In Paris he was physically attacked by Ultras.
@@mrgreekgm754 its not the security, is the language and the Latino community.
alHillal pump up their offer to $1.71 billion then again promised more & let Messi keeps all commercial revenue.
Messi has to lay down his proposals on the table, make his suggestions and requests known about players he wants to join the team. All the responsibilities can't rest on his shoulders
He is the best player in the world...without him Argentina would not have won the world cup....and who won player of the world cup tournament....at 35....doesnt say much for the others
Yeah, but Messi is unique. Never will there be another like him,incl. in character.
I am waiting Messi sayin yo, whats up dude 😊
Yeah man
could’ve easily played 2-3 years more in europe at the absolute highest level.
consider yourself very lucky
Yeah, I'm really sad he chose MLS. Rumors have it that they will loan Messi to Barca.
Imagine Messi wins Balloon D'Or and presents it in Miami's stadium
Harland will probably win ...but yeah if MESSI WINS then it's the greatest thing ever thing ever happened in MLS
Its 100% going to happen
@@dichaelovic it's quite difficult....I mean after the WC everyone thought he was getting that 8th ballon dor but Haaland had an exceptional year under Pep Guardiola in Manchester city, they'll win the treble if Manchester city wins the UCL FINAL on 7th ... mind you treble is a rare achievement in football , Messi has done in twice ( or thrice , 2011?) in 2009 and 2015 . Both times he won the Ballon dor .
@@soulpaulx5947
Does that pale WC win ???
@@soulpaulx5947 He won the treble twice. In 2011, Mourinho and Ronaldo stopped him with a win in the Copa del Rey final.
Messi 👍👍
just to clarify the offer from Saudi Arabia was 1 billion for 2 years dang!
1.5 billion
@@Dinozor3 Messi doesn't need the money.
Glad I had a season ticket, thinking to sell it back for 800
How much was it previously?
Life is too short for that financial gain. We're talking the GOAT here mate.
hahaha friend you could sell it easily at 3000
I will give you 850 now, give me your IG
@@emetdan Lowwwwww Ballllllll
Offering $1.71 billion to Messi is NOT diversifying from oil. 😒 Saudis will NEVER get their money back in term of cash when they pay this insane amount of money. It is pure sport washing & soft power. 😒
The Saudi offer wasn't $400 million but $1.6 billion!
400M /yr
@Constant not 400 million/yr. its more than 550 million a year including sponsorship & everything ❤
@@s.mahesmahes5682 He's just saying 1.6b for 3 years is the same as 400m per year.
@jal051 not 4 years, its 3 years. 1.6 billion divided by 3 is 530 million bro and that only not he will get sponsorships, shirt sales and tv thing as well thats why i said its more than 550 million 👍
God of football❤
The Saudi deal was for $1.6 billion
He ain't greedy like Ronaldo.
Who cares. He doesn't, Messi has plenty of money. Nobody wants to live in a friggin desert.
@@mirzubair8291 I’m sure 1.6b comes with strings attached
If zlatan retired at 41 in a great team i dont see messi not being in top shape.
In all fairness, Zlatan and Ronaldo are freaks of nature.
@@toothlezz16 So is Messi. He walks for most of the 90 minutes. No point in running around like a headless chicken.
At the age of 35 he is winning his 8th balon dor...period...
Hello dear
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 bruh I'm a Messi Fan and a through and through culer. Messi is not someone I associate with nature in the first place.
Ro is amazing. He plays well too.
who's Ro?
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 Ro is the man. :) He is the former Nike Brand Ambassador, but more importantly a brilliant, selfless human being. A gem.
@@B_M Tell me who is Ro?
Respect
USA 🔥 NEXT world cup 🏆too the Greatest Ever is coming 🙏
There is a difference between football and soccer. Messi will teach the MLS
Same game, different name.
Saudi offered Mess 1.5bn for three years.
The guess is that he would have taken it but the wife and kids didn't want to spend three years away from civilization.
Barcelona would have been the worst deal financially, but it's Barcelona.
The Miami deal could end up being quite lucrative with a piece of the Apple and Adidas additional MLS revenue. The MLS also probably offered Messi something similar to what enticed Beckham into the league - a discounted chance at ownership of an expansion club.
For Beckham, bringing in Messi turned that deal into a huge windfall. Plus Miami granted the franchise a new lease deal to build a state of the art stadium - mo' money, mo' money, mo' money!
400 million a year mate for 3 years. That's 1.2 billion!
Welcome to Miami sir!
Remember he is the current holder of the best player award this year which is balon dor despite his age.
Good decision. He can have some fun i US.
What do u mean in his prime? messi is always hot as a Suzuki machine.
Miami? Really? OK then…….. kind of wish he came to Minnesota United, but OK
Saudi 1.3 billion dollars offer
Hello dear
It's not only good for the MLS Property value are going through the roof miami is hot It's not only the beaches and the weather is There people. Combination of Caribbean and South Americans. So if you are coming from New York Chicago or anywhere else leave your trash thinking behind Miami smells freedom.
moar coverage please
actually Messi turn down an 1.5B deal for three years....
It's football
Messi goes to the easier football league of America where anyone can play there easily. If MLS were together of Libertadores, we'd see a Inter Miami game against Bahia , Messi makes a goal and final whistle is Bahia 5 and inter Miami 1 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
UNLESS they bring him good players.
Watch my take on Messi to Miami. God Bless you.
🐐🐐🐐🇺🇸🇺🇸
Messi s wife made the decision for him.
It was her against his dad the agent.
The wife won...
Miami is great city
It's Football not Soccer.
Period.
He will go back to fc Barcelona for retirement for his last game mls is only a stop on the road
Messi retires from Football to play Soccer.
The greatest athlete why's you stressed out we the fans no fucki money in the MLS
To me he should have ended his carreer in Barcelona or Argentina. Boca or River.
Its a good time to invest in miami commerce now...in all aspects...invest people!
Messi’s wife made it clear she ain’t raising her kids in saudi
Right!. Nobody wants to live in a friggin desert if they don't have to.
@@alexnhan8527 In a dictatorship with serious human rts abuses and awful treatment of women. Good for her and good for him. Don't think Ronaldo gave a thought for how it would be for Georgina.
Saudi Arabians don't have a plan to make money from their league football. It's just vanity football
It is football 😂😂😂😂
Stay mad. He's ours now. We call it Soccer.
futbol no soccer ok
when the host is severely less competent than the guests😂
American media ready to 😂 Demolish Saudi league 🤡 because of oil money 🤑💰
Football*
Huh? Messi isn't going to the NFL.
Stop calling soccer it’s football
Why is this hissssing lizard speaking….Joe is startling to look like Trump…..hmmmm?!?!?
The quality of play in MLS is poor and has deteriorated badly with frenetic expansion from 10 to 29 teams and other permanent and irredeemable structural flaws. I think there is danger of MLS being exposed as a comic exhibition league, less like Barcelona and more like the Harlem Globetrotters. #LOLmls
Same with Cristiano playing in Saudi is like LeBron playing in China and dominating a scrubbed league
Deteriorated? We are not in 2017 anymore. MLS has grown a lot and is starting to become very decent. For instance, Premier league is starting to scout in MLS.
@@luiscaetano6184 No. The "growth" has diluted the talent and the players are just going through the motions because regular season games are meaningless and the worst teams are at no risk of relegation. It's a terrible league. It is direct for the same reason that the English 4th division is direct; i.e., lack of talent. It is difficult to watch and now the whole world will get an eyeful. Sorry.
@@saylortusk8489 ghai...
When you comment but don’t watch 😂😂😂.
MLS has been growing in talent despite adding new teams. They are at 29(soon to be 30). They will probably stop at 30 or maybe 32
Messi 👍👍👍
