Lionel Messi gave an interview to a TV channel in Argentina and said he was "excited" to start training with Inter Miami. Moreover, the Argentinian star said he will take several days off before joining Beckham's side.

Lionel Messi signed for Inter Miami and will probably play the last years of his career in Major League Soccer. Barcelona were interested in him but did not want to reopen his time at Camp Nou.

As a result, the striker will start a new journey and play for the third club of his career after having spent most of it at the Catalan giants and having played the last two years at Paris Saint-Germain.

The 36-year-old gave an interview to an Argentinian television channel and said he will take "several days off" before he starts training with his new teammates.

"It's a very nice feeling to have been able to be at [Riquelme's] testimonial, with all that he means for football in Argentina, what he means to Boca, to be once again in 'La Bombonera'. 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."
