Lionel Messi has not yet put on the jersey of Inter Miami, but the news of his transfer caused a real sensation in Florida. It got to the point where Miami Heat basketball players were also asked about the Argentine coming to town.
Veteran Jimmy Butler said on the subject of Messi: “Will I see myself talking to him? Probably not. I know he probably has a lot to do. He comes here to do something special for this town. I’m not going to contact him, although I’m really glad he’s going to be here.”
“Messi is a very good thing for Miami. He is clearly one of the greatest players in this wonderful game. I’m very excited for the city of Miami to be able to have a player of this caliber here. Now that he is here, I think football fans from all over the world will come here and have the chance to see him play. I’m happy he’s here,” Butler added.
