At that point, I felt lucky because I could choose which next team to join. All of those choices sound great, so my family and I are giving them a lot of thought and study. Before deciding for sure to move to the US to play for Inter Miami, I did a lot of study.

Going back to Barcelona was my first choice, but that wasn’t possible. Even though I tried, I couldn’t get what I wanted in the end. At that time, I really considered going to the Saudi Arabian National League (SPL), since I knew that this country was building a very strong league that could soon become one of the best tournaments in the world.

“As a tourism ambassador, I love everything about Saudi Arabia. It’s always been a special place for me to visit because football is growing here and people are working hard to make a good tournament.” I’m really pleased by these efforts, and I’m sure that this tournament will grow and become known around the world.

It took me a lot of time and study to decide to transfer to Inter Miami because I think it will help my career a lot. Thanks to the people and the club for making me feel welcome. I can’t wait to begin this new journey. There are more and more people playing soccer in the United States, which will be fun for me.
