Lionel Messi‘s arrival has made many changes in David Beckham’s Inter Miami. Messi accepted a deal worth $55 million from the American club. But the anticipated deal has also resulted in one of their stars leaving the club. 

The Mexican midfielder Rodolfo Pizzaro signed for the club in 2020 and has mutually terminated his contract to pursue new opportunities in Greece. In a recent interview, Pizarro voiced his disappointment and acknowledged that the club’s recent signings could lead to his transfer to another team. He said, “It’s strange and only happens in this league, but they have to follow the rules.” 

Lionel Messi’s signing directly led to Pizarro’s departure, as MLS limits each team to only three Designated Players (DP). This announcement from the club doesn’t come as a surprise to many. But the developments leading to the events have indeed sent the fans buzzing. Many fans and analysts have shared their opinions on Twitter.
