Inter Miami striker and Argentina captain Lionel Messi said he would take a couple of days off before arriving at his new club.
Recall that on June 7, the player officially announced his decision to move to Inter.
The day before, Messi took part in a friendly game between Boca Juniors and Argentina to mark the end of Juan Román Riquelme's career.
It is 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.
