Lionel Messi’s car narrowly escapes crash in Miami - watch

Football superstar Lionel Messi has completed his move from Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and now the World Cup winning Argentine skipper is preparing to make his debut for the Major League Soccer (MLS) for Inter Miami.

The team got a major scare as the star forward escaped a car accident in his first week in the US.

As per reports, Messi narrowly escaped crashing with a vehicle after his car jumped the red light and went for a left turn.

Messi will earn close to $60 million per year which includes his salary, owning a stake in Inter Miami and his signing bonus. That contract runs from this July 1, 2023 until late December 2025.

Earlier this week, photos and videos of Messi visiting a local grocery store went viral over various social media platforms. The superstar footballer was forced to leave the store after being swarmed by locals with selfie requests.

Notably, Inter Miami will be Messi’s third professional club after Barcelona and PSG.
