Lionel Messi’s influence at Inter Miami continues to expand as his son Thiago has recently become part of the team’s academy. Despite not having been affiliated with a club previously, Thiago has been named on the U12 squad. Unlike his father’s grand entrance to the Fort Lauderdale franchise, Thiago’s inclusion was announced without much fanfare. The 10-year-old, who will soon turn 11 on November 2, relocated with his family to Fort Lauderdale in July along with his two younger brothers. Since their arrival, the Messi family has truly captivated the American soccer community.
Thiago Messi has officially joined the Inter Miami youth academy and is set to kick off his journey with the Under-12 team.
Following his two-season stint with Paris Saint-Germain, Messi’s family decided to relocate to the United States.
Thiago grew up in Barcelona but had to leave the city when his father left the club in 2021.
Lionel Messi proudly displays a tattoo on the back of his left calf featuring his son’s hands above a special inscription. Despite the buzz surrounding Inter Miami’s No. 10, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three boys remain his top priority. While his sons are still too young to join him on the soccer field, Messi never forgets to include them in his thoughts. Reportedly, Messi’s children are big fans of Marvel, and his goal celebration in a match against Atlanta paid homage to them with a nod to the superhero Thor.
