Too expensive for CFG. They will look for some striker from a lower level European league. Unless Campana could make Girona just a little bit better and we should be happy with that.
At least it's on the club site.

Probably about as reliable.

Other teams could just refuse to trade for Miami’s existing DPs to make things difficult.
How does that old Kreiss quote about 1 star not changing a team stand up against 2 stars named Messi and Neymar?
Messi is going to be really pissed when he realizes that part of compensation is being dependent on Fanatics being able to actually produce Miami Messi kits. They could barely make a few thousand NYCFC champion kits. Are they going to spell Messi’s name: Messy; Merci; etc.
w....what? Miami didn't... they didn't know about this? That's weird.
It's hilarious if he actually announced it publicly before talking to Miami and MLS, and worked on deals separately with Apple and Adidas without MLS involved.

The separate discussions do make sense though. The league likely isn't paying him the Apple/Adidas money and it wouldn't be the first time a player chose one club over others because of sponsor interest.
Absolutely. But the tweet maybe makes it sound like Messi started talking with Apple and Adidas without even telling MLS. I don't even know if that's the case; it's worded a bit unclearly. But I find the idea amusing so I'm going with it.
Messi causing international geopolitical incidents. Will MLS still sign him?

I would totally sing that at a match after he misses a sitter
The Athletic is reporting that the Messi deal to get equity in an MLS team is an option to buy part of Inter Miami. Also the Apple piece will be a pct of new international subscribers. No mention of Adidas. The deal still being worked on with lots of moving parts.
Article also confirms Miami and MLS were surprised at Messi's announcement, though it wasn't like they weren't in talks.
Separate article says Miami is working to get Bousqets to come using allocation money, max $1.65M. He made $26.3M/year on his last contract.
