Arsenal might receive a big surprise on their US tour
Lionel Messi’s unexpected move to Inter Miami has sent shockwaves reverberating throughout the football world. While many had anticipated him joining Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, the Argentine superstar’s future has taken a surprising twist.
Latest reports suggest that Messi could potentially make his first appearance in the United States as part of the MLS All-Stars team, who are set to face Arsenal in a high-profile pre-season friendly.

The MLS All-Stars are scheduled to lock horns with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal on July 20 in Washington DC, and there are growing speculations that Messi might be added to the star-studded side.
Managed by former English football icon Wayne Rooney, the MLS All-Stars could receive a monumental boost if Messi is indeed available for selection.
However, it remains to be seen whether the 34-year-old maestro will be ready to participate, as he had been granted permission to skip Argentina’s upcoming clash with Indonesia to enjoy a well-deserved vacation.
Moreover, Messi’s debut for Inter Miami, the club that secured his services, could take place just a day after the MLS All-Stars’ encounter with Arsenal. The anticipation surrounding his arrival is reaching fever pitch, with fans clamoring for tickets at exorbitant prices in the hopes of witnessing the sublime skills of one of the greatest footballers of all time.
