Lionel Messi's free transfer to Inter Miami has quickly become one of the most seismic moves in recent soccer history. From social media followings to rumors that old pals might be joining him for the ride, Messi's decision has rocked the sport and potentially kick-started a realignment of power in soccer But Inter Miami have some work to do on and off the pitch to ensure soccer royalty like Messi is playing in opulence. This starts with the team's new stadium, Miami Freedom Park, which is still under construction.

Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham attempted to get construction approval at several sites before receiving the green light on Miami Freedom Park. Last year, the Miami City Council voted to grant Inter Miami a 99-year lease at a now-closed golf course near Miami International Airport.

Inter Miami currently plays at 18,000-seat DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, about 35 miles north of the airport. The stadium, built at a cost of $60 million, was only intended as a temporary venue for the club while Miami Freedom Park was built -- and built to attract a global superstar like Messi. 

Messi has not yet signed a contract with Inter Miami, but he has pledged his immediate future to the franchise and the parameters of a deal have been generally agreed upon thanks to an innovative revenue-sharing agreement with the player.

According to the Miami Herald, Messi's contract is estimated to be worth up to $150 million over two-and-a-half years. With Miami Freedom Park expected to be ready for MLS action in 2025, it is likely Messi will still be an Inter Miami player when the new stadium opens its gates.

Inter Miami is scheduled to open its 1 Billion Dollar Miami Freedom Park by 2025. The stadium will have 25 thousand accommodation, restaurants, shopping malls and tech hub also.
