Fort Lauderdale, FL - International superstar Lionel Messi announced a glorious return to the verdant fields of his boyhood club in Fort Lauderdale as he proclaimed his signing with Inter Miami.

“Long have I languished for a return to the resplendent fields of DRV PNK stadium where I formed my footballing consciousness,” stated Messi through an interpreter. “Down the NW 12th avenue past ABC Supply Co and Baby Borrow Rental…. ahh the memories.”

Sources say that part of the reason that Messi decided upon Inter Fort Lauderdale was his emotional connection to the situation over signing with the Saudi League.

“He just wanted another chance to play in front of his home crowd,” stated one anonymous insider. “It was all about the Fort Lauderdale faithful and his ability to reconnect with his homeland.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Messi celebrates his return by ordering a large Queso and Chips at the Chili’s down the street.
