Inter Miami fans have something to cheer about at last. After the scheduled tour of China was wiped off, the club is expected to finalize a reunion for Lionel Messi with his childhood club. The fans were already disappointed after the club’s exit from the playoffs. Similarly, the fans of Rosario would also have the same curiosity to meet their homegrown player.
