Ever since the Argentinian superstar arrived in the country to play in the MLS, he can’t seem to stop taking a break from the limelight. While the U.S. fans impatiently waited to see his debut, they finally got to see him in action. However, it seems they might need to play yet another waiting game.

Meanwhile, the World Cup winner has left everyone in awe with his debut. All the fans now don’t want to miss a single game when Messi plays. Each supporter now looks to wear his Miami no.10 jersey. However, fans who want to buy his jersey might have to wait.

American fans shall wait for months to buy Inter Miami jersey of Lionel Messi

Messi’s influence at both Inter Miami and the United States is more than obvious. The playmaker may have left an indelible mark among the fans thanks to his brilliant performance for the Herons. However, his impact goes far beyond his soccer prowess. Apparently, a report from the AS suggests that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s shirt has become impossible to get.

Miami’s kit makers Adidas has recently revealed that they are unable to cope with the overwhelming demand for his jersey. Although it is being sold at a price of $160, the German company stated that this situation is “unprecedented.” Furthermore, the company claims that fans who are eager to purchase the shirt and make a reservation may not receive it until October due to high demand.
