“I have made the decision that I am going to Miami … a few things are needed, but well, we decided to continue my path there,” Messi told Mundo Deportivo on Wednesday. “After winning the World Cup and not being able to return to Barcelona, it was my turn to go to the … United States to live football in another way and to enjoy the day to day more.”
