I would've loved to see him in the Premier League, but it'll really be something to see him in MLS. He's 'only' 35, still has a couple of seasons left in the tank. He'll be a monster for Miami.

Skipped the big Saudi bucks. The MLS will become a lot more popular thanks to him.

Didn't see this happening at all. I thought he'd go to Saudi Arabia for crazy money or go back to Barcelona.

Huge PR boost for MLS and Miami's club.

Do you think he'll retire once his contract ends?

[–] Rumblestiltskin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I think I saw it is a 4 year contract. If so he would be 39 or 40.

Yeah I saw they went from 1m followers on Instagram to 5m once he was announced, lol. I imagine he'll retire when he's finished, yeah. Seems like if he wanted to go somewhere for money it would've been Saudia Arabia. Although, maybe he'll go back to Barca. I think I read he wanted to do that but couldn't because of FFP.
