Inter Miami star slams MLS for ‘strange’ rule as Lionel Messi closes in on debut
Rodolfo Pizzaro may be one of the players to be placed as Lionel Messi gets closer making his Inter Miami debut. Pizzaro is now one of the club’s Designated Players.
Pizzaro can earn more than the MLS wage cap since he is a designated player. The entry of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, though, might result in the Mexican losing his position to make room for those two.
The player is presently in the final year of his contract, therefore it is probable that he will leave the Herons. Speaking about the situation, Pizzaro said.
“I do think it’s hard, I have a contract. I didn’t know I could be traded anyways. It’s a bit strange. I think it’s the only league in the world that does this.”
Gerardo “Tata” Martino, a former manager of Barcelona, was just named the new manager of Inter Miami. Martino was also quizzed about the situation. He replied, saying.
“We know about his situation. There’s the (sporting) part of things, and then there are questions that have to do distinctly with the club’s leadership, in terms of his future.”
Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets joining Inter Miami
Lionel Messi is expected to sign with Inter Miami as a free agent after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ended. Messi will be joined at the DRV PNK Stadium and Sergio Busquets as well. Pizzaro is one of the players that may need to go on, along with Gregore, the club captain, and forward Leonardo Campana.
Inter Miami are currently at the very bottom of the MLS standings in the Eastern Conference. To say the least, they will benefit greatly from the addition of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets to the team.
However, it’s unclear whether the two Barcelona greats would perform at their best for their new team. Tata Martino is confident as he recently said.
“That the world’s greatest player decides to play in this league, evidently it will open an even greater scenario of growth. When I spoke with Leo yesterday, I spoke with Sergio. We spoke about coming to make things happen. To compete, to compete well. They’re competitors, world champions, champions of the Spanish league… it’s in their blood.”
In addition to Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergio Ramos have also been mentioned in connection with their move to Inter Miami. It will be interesting to observe if the club’s fortunes improve as a result of the new arrivals.
