“And in the midst of all this boiling, the Florida franchise announced the departure of one of Leo’s teammates: it is Nick Marsman, the goalkeeper who questioned Leo’s arrival at the club,” reported Diario Olé from Argentina.
“Personally, I think the club is not ready for the arrival of Messi,” the goalkeeper had opined in a chat with ESPN the day the Argentine’s signing was made official.
“We have a temporary stadium, people can get on the field, we go to the stadium without security. I hope they come, but I think we are not ready,” he said.
“Inter Miami CF announced that it has exercised its rescission of the Salary Budget Fee from the Major League Soccer (MLS) contract of goalkeeper Nick Marsman,” the franchise reported.
