Messi revealed earlier this month that, on June 30, when his contract with PSG expires, he will sign with Inter Miami. Busquets, another free agency marquee acquisition for the David Beckham-owned team, is about to be finalised.
When they get the news, fans are thrilled. On Twitter, one of them posted: “Messi casually assembling the Avengers.”
The Miami-based club’s co-owner, Jorge Mas, recently teased the arrival of three new players. Busquets allegedly became one of them.
Another admirer added: “Getting the band back together!”

No Agreement in Place: Messi Refutes Claims of Joining Busquets at Inter Miami
Upon joining Inter Miami, Lionel Messi was questioned about if Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, two players who had played their final games for Barcelona, would re-join him.
The assertion that Messi and two of his former teammates have reached any sort of understanding regarding a potential reunion was denied by Messi. The Argentina captain responded to the issue by saying the following to SPORT: “It is another of the things they said, that I was going with Busi and Jordi to Arabia, that we had everything arranged. Everyone looks for their future. I obviously was aware of them, what they were going to do, but, but never at any moment did we agree to go anywhere together.”
And he said: “I made my decision for myself and I don’t know what they are going to do. Mine was a bit thinking about everything that we talked about during this entire interview. And no, I have nothing set up with anyone.”
Regardless of what he said, Lionel Messi has reconnected with Busquets. Fans should not be surprised that they are excited to see the duo play together once more given the pair’s incredible success while playing for Barcelona.
