Now there will be a few days of vacation and then I will start in my new city, my new club (Inter Miami), I am very excited."

David Beckham has revealed that he was stunned at getting a huge amount of messages after Lionel Messi announced his decision to join the MLS side. He claimed that he could not believe people pinging him and told Daily Mail:

"A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to about a million messages on my phone. I was thinking, 'What's gone off? I don't usually get this many messages'. All of a sudden, I hear Leo has come out and announced he's coming to Miami.

"Obviously, it wasn't a surprise to me. I have always said, from the word go, that if I had the opportunity to bring the best players in the game to Miami, at whatever time of their careers, I would do that. I have always made that commitment to our fans."

He added:

"So when I hear that one of the best players — if not the best player — who has won everything in the game, who is still a great player, still young and still doing what he's doing, wants to play for my team, it's a massive moment for us."

Lionel Messi had the chance to join Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but opted against it. Marca have reported that he had a world-record €500 million per season offer but he wanted to move to the United States.

Messi is currently on vacation in the Bahamas and is expected to join his new side next week. Inter Miami expect the Argentine to make his debut in the middle of the month.
