Nick Marsman has been booted out of Inter Miami weeks after he questioned Lionel Messi’s transfer to the club.
The 32-year-old had in June stated that Inter Miami was not ready for Messi’s arrival.
He played down Inter Miami’s infrastructure and whether it was good enough to welcome a player of Lionel Messi’s stature.
He told ESPN: “I personally think that this club is not ready for Messi’s arrival. We have a temporary stadium, people can just walk on the pitch, there are no gates. We also leave for the stadium without security. I think they aren’t ready. But I hope he comes.”
Weeks after him questioning the club’s decision to sign the Argentine superstar, Marsman has seen his contract terminated by the club.
Meanwhile, since officially joining the club last month Messi seems to be enjoying life in the United States.
The Argentine superstar has also hit the ground running, scoring seven goals in four appearances for the club thus far.
Messi’s brace against FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup round of 16 took him to the joint-fourth position in the club’s all-time highest goalscorers’ list.
