"Messi is expected to play only one match during the Asian tour when the Argentine team meets the Australian team in Beijing, China on June 15. After that, he will leave the team and not go to Jakarta," said journalist Leo Paradizo.

Journalist Leo Paradizo was one of the first few people to announce that Messi had decided to join MLS club Inter Miami instead of returning to Barcelona. And this has become true. Therefore, the news that Messi will not come to Jakarta is making fans in Indonesia very disappointed.

During the Asian tour of the Argentine team, with the attraction of Messi, tickets to watch 2 matches including the match against the Australian team at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, China with a capacity of 68,000 seats and the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta with a capacity of 77,000 seats against the Indonesian team, were both sold out nearly a week ago.

Messi and his teammates arrived in Beijing, China on June 10, immediately causing a stir among fans as thousands of people waited for hours at the airport and at the hotel where the Argentine team was stationed. Messi also had problems with his passport and visa, causing him to be stuck at the airport for more than 2 hours despite flying to Beijing by private jet.

According to the Argentine press, Messi will only have about 5 days to train and compete with the Argentine team against the Australian team. After that, he will return to Europe with his family to prepare for a new life when he moves to the Inter Miami Club in the US to play.

Messi is expected to make his debut for Inter Miami on July 21 against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup (comprising clubs in the US and Mexico). Before that, the Argentine superstar will also debut for Inter Miami and practice with his new teammates.
