As he gets used to living in Miami, Lionel Messi is enjoying American culture to the fullest. Two days after arriving in South Florida, he was seen grocery shopping at Publix. As fans impatiently awaited formal confirmation of his contract with Inter Miami, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was spotted carrying a cart full of cereals, including Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms.

Messi, his wife Antonela, and their three boys Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro arrived in Miami on Tuesday. As he left the grocery shop, the Argentine superstar, who is expected to make $54 million year, stopped to pose for pictures with fans.
Earlier this week, on his first day in the United States, he was spotted having a family supper in Miami Beach, when a fan even kissed him as he exited the establishment. It was anticipated that Messi would sign his contract and be revealed as a Miami player on Thursday, but this might possibly happen on Friday.

David Beckham, a co-owner of Inter Miami, was also seen at the team’s practice facility in an attempt to complete Messi’s transfer and improve the club’s performance. Inter Miami is currently 11 points behind the Chicago Fire for the final postseason berth in the MLS Eastern Conference.
After declining rich offers from Saudi Arabia and understanding a return to Barcelona was not feasible, Messi had stated his wish to relocate to the United States. He did not really fit in with PSG during his two seasons there, especially after the team’s Champions League exit drew criticism from supporters.
