The opening act of the most noteworthy acquisition in Major League Soccer's history reportedly has a target date.
Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi is aiming to make his debut on July 21 against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup, managing owner Jorge Mas told Michelle Kaufman of The Miami Herald and a group of reporters in a conversation reported Monday night.
Per Mas, Inter Miami is working on adding 3,000 seats to its stadium in Fort Lauderdale before that date.
