Messi and his father accused of manipulating power at Inter Miami, former MLS star calls for boycott

The former MLS player calls on players and coaches not to join Inter Miami because of Messi’s “black power”.
⚡️ Shocking statement about Messi by former MLS star
In an interview with Youtube channel Foot Truck, former DC United and Atlanta United player Mateusz Klich shocked the world when he called on players and coaches not to join Inter Miami because of Lionel Messi.

Specifically, the 35-year-old midfielder believes that the Argentine superstar and his father, Jorge Messi, are the people with the most power at Inter Miami. Even the departure of many players, coaches and staff is due to the team’s “disastrous” environment:

“I do not encourage players to go to Inter Miami as long as Messi is there. It is a disaster; people are leaving, coaches and physiotherapists are leaving. Organizationally, everything is bad. Basically, Messi’s father runs the club. Everyone speaks Spanish and nothing can be done without their consent. The club headquarters is also 45-50 minutes away from Miami.”

📍 There are more ideal destinations than Inter Miami in MLS
In addition, Mateusz Klich pointed out more ideal destinations for players and coaches who want to experience football life in the American Major League Soccer (MLS): “I would like to introduce New York. New York RB now has a better stadium, but New York City is also building a great stadium.

There are clubs like Columbus Crew and Cincinnati, with great stadiums and stands, but the accommodation is very boring. I would recommend Nashville, if you have the option to go to Nashville SC. It’s a beautiful place. Portland and Seattle have a great atmosphere, but it’s the end of the world.”

🔒 Inter Miami waiting to “tie down” Messi until the age of 41
Since joining Inter Miami in 2023, Messi has made a big impact both on and off the field. He helped Inter Miami win the Leagues Cup, Supporters’ Shield and also won the 2024 Player of the Season award. Messi’s appeal brings huge commercial benefits to Inter Miami and MLS.

To please Messi, Inter Miami’s board of directors has continuously recruited players and coaches with close relationships with M10, from Busquets, Alba, Luis Suarez, De Paul to coach Tata Martino or current “captain” Javier Mascherano.

Messi’s current contract with Inter Miami runs until the end of the 2025 season, with an option to extend for another 12 months. However, Catalunya Radio reported that Inter Miami is about to reach an agreement to “tie down” the World Cup champion until 2028, meaning he will turn 41 in the final year of his contract.
