A Lionel Messi Inter Miami jersey: how much and where to buy it
The Argentine star was presented on Sunday as the new icon of the MLS and his number ‘10′ shirt is already on sale for eager fans.
The city of Miami has officially gone Messi mad. They’re loco for Leo! As if the hype following the announcement of his signing for Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami wasn’t crazy enough, the arrival and presentation of the Argentine star seems to have paralyzed not only the state of Florida, but also much of the country, and certainly everything related to MLS.

Messi-mania in Miami
Fans gathered to see the unveiling of their new number ‘10′ - as well as his former Barça partner in success, Sergio Busquets - in what was a very special occasion. Only the signings of Pelé and Beckham into the MLS could be held up as any sort of comparable arrival into the MLS, but even more is expected from the latest Miami transformation on the field, and league one off it.
Before a ball is delicately caressed in any competitive encounter by the recent World Cup winner, demand for replicas of the kit he is going to wear is sky rocketing. Tickets for games involving the Argentine are also going to be hard to come by.

How can I buy a Messi jersey?
According to Franco Panizo, the official Inter Miami stores near the stadium announced the price of the jersey that Lionel Messi will wear with the Florida team is $199.99. Yes, that’s two hundred dollars for a soccer shirt. It’s a busy shop right now!
Although some limited shirts of his came out on Sunday, stores had to close early because a storm got in the way of Messi’s presentation, the first time he pulled on his new kit.
The MLS also has its official store offering all types and sizes.
