Lionel Messi is heading to Inter Miami in Major League Soccer after deciding to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract this summer.

The 35-year-old already has a home in the city, where his close friend Sergio Aguero also lives. Former team-mate Sergio Busquets is also linked with a move to Miami along with compatriot Angel Di Maria.
