1. Lionel Messi

Inter Miami CF made headlines worldwide with the significant signing of Argentine soccer superstar Lionel Messi. The acquisition of Messi on a free transfer marks a milestone moment for the American club, as they secure one of the most iconic players in football history.

Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami CF follows a somewhat disappointing spell in France, where he played for PSG. During his time with PSG, Messi managed to win two French national league titles. However, it was during his remarkable 18-year tenure at FC Barcelona where Lionel Messi truly left an indelible mark on the sport of football. The list of Messi’s accolades and personal awards is seemingly endless, but the most remarkable trophies he won are 7 Copa del Rey trophies, 3 UEFA Champions League titles, and 3 FIFA Club World Cup titles.
