Inter Miami terminates goalkeeper’s contract over comments on Messi
Inter Miami have terminated goalkeeper, Nick Marsman’s contract weeks after he questioned Lionel Messi’s move to the club.
In June, Marsman expressed concerns over the MLS club’s infrastructure.
He asked whether it was good enough to welcome a player of Messi’s stature.
“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,” Marsman told ESPN
Since joining Inter Miami last month, Messi has scored seven goals in four appearances for the club thus far.
His brace against FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup round of 16 makes him joint-fourth position in the club’s all-time highest goalscorers’ list.
