Ahead of linking up with his new team-mates, though, he is currently on international duty with Argentina.

He starred in the World Cup winners' friendly win over Australia in China on Thursday, scoring the opener in a 2-0 win.

Messi's stunning solo goal came after just two minutes and had fans moaning he is "too good" for the MLS.

The 35-year-old collected the ball in the Australia half before skipping past a challenge and bending his shot into the back of the net.

After the match, Messi was asked by a reporter whether he was eager to join Inter Miami.

His response amused fans as he answered: "I feel like going on holiday… then we’ll start again."

It is unclear whether Messi will feature in Argentina's match against Indonesia on Monday before jetting off on holiday.

His move to Miami is set to be made official next month, with Messi rejecting offers from Barcelona and Saudi Arabia to move to the club, who are owned by David Beckham.
