re: Messi settling in Miami

Barcelona is a team he is tied to so he will never play for Real Madrid. Barcelona has financial issues and can’t sign him right now.
So that leaves him with England, Italy, and Paris St Germain. He tried Paris and didn’t like the atmosphere. Honestly it seems like none of the stars like it there.
Then there is Italy, which is competitive, but the salaries aren’t comparable.
Of course the big option is England, and I’m surprised he didn’t end up there.
Besides England, he could be here or in Qatar, UAE, or Saudi Arabia.
A ton of great players are choosing that last option but Messi thankfully chose MLS over Saudi Arabia.

Had he not won the World Cup, he'd either still be at Paris, found a way to get back to Barca or in England.
The plan was always to finish his career in MLS, specifically Miami. He's got nothing left to prove elsewhere now, so he came to the league a year or two earlier than expected. 100% he retires after the 2026 World Cup.

Because no matter how many might not want to hear it or defend the league, the MLS is still a retirement league. Beckham set that precedent and honestly I do not see that changing for a long time.
