Lionel Scaloni, the Argentina head coach, has finally given his verdict on captain Lionel Messi’s move from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami.
Scaloni said that it was wonderful for Messi to decide to join Inter Miami from PSG, adding that it makes him happy.
Messi will join the MLS club as a free agent when his PSG contract expires on June 30.
Speaking ahead of Argentina’s international friendly with Australia in Beijing on Thursday, Scaloni said at his pre-match press conference, “I think it’s wonderful that he [Messi] chooses something that makes him happy playing football, regardless of the league.
“The important thing is that he feels good at the club. That’s what it’s all about. He’s earned it. As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters.”
