Nick Marsman’s contract with Inter Miami was terminated a few weeks after the goalie questioned the move of Lionel Messi.
Soccer fans and pundits were taken by surprise when Dutch goalkeeper Nick Marsman’s contract with Inter Miami was abruptly terminated just a few weeks after he questioned the move of global football icon Lionel Messi. The decision sent shockwaves through the soccer world, raising questions about player freedom of expression and the influence of high-profile transfers on club dynamics.
The Messi Transfer Saga
The summer of 2023 will be remembered as a landmark period in soccer history, primarily due to Lionel Messi’s sensational transfer from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Manchester City. The Argentine superstar’s move to the Premier League club was a headline-making event that dominated headlines and sparked debates across the globe.
As is customary, players, pundits, and fans all chimed in with their opinions on the transfer. However, Marsman’s take on the Messi move proved to be a turning point in his career at Inter Miami.
Marsman’s Questionable Remarks
Nick Marsman, who joined Inter Miami in 2021 as a goalkeeper with high hopes of making an impact in Major League Soccer (MLS), expressed his concerns about Messi’s transfer in an interview with a Dutch media outlet. Marsman questioned the motives behind Messi’s decision to join Manchester City and remarked, “I find it hard to understand why Messi would leave PSG for the Premier League. Money shouldn’t be the only driving factor for a player of his caliber.”
While Marsman’s comments did not explicitly criticize the clubs or the players involved, it seemed to hint at the idea that the move was primarily motivated by financial gain rather than footballing ambitions. It is essential to note that Marsman’s remarks were his personal opinion and not an official statement from Inter Miami.
The Termination of Contract
Just a few weeks after the interview was published, Inter Miami unexpectedly announced the termination of Nick Marsman’s contract. The official statement released by the club mentioned that the decision was made after a “careful evaluation of the team’s needs and future plans.”
The timing and context of the contract termination led many to speculate that Marsman’s remarks about Messi’s move played a significant role in the decision. While there has been no official confirmation regarding the exact reasons for the contract termination, it is clear that the situation has cast a spotlight on the complex relationship between players’ freedom of expression and the dynamics within clubs.
The Debate on Player Expression
Marsman’s case raises important questions about player freedom of expression in the soccer world. While players are entitled to their opinions and are often encouraged to engage with the media, expressing views that may be deemed controversial or contrary to the club’s interests can sometimes result in repercussions.
Clubs, especially those with high-profile players, may be sensitive to public comments that could potentially impact their image or disrupt team dynamics. Balancing players’ right to speak their minds with the interests of the club is a delicate challenge that requires careful consideration.
The termination of Nick Marsman’s contract with Inter Miami following his remarks on Lionel Messi’s move has ignited discussions about player expression and club dynamics in modern soccer. As the sport continues to evolve, it is essential for all stakeholders to navigate these complexities with transparency and respect for players’ rights.
Ultimately, open dialogue and mutual understanding between players and clubs can pave the way for a harmonious and productive environment in the ever-evolving world of soccer.

Lionel Messi’s final jab at Cristiano in a million-dollar text message for Lyon’s Argentina player: “Don’t listen to Ronaldo”
French club Lyon stoked the flames of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in their announcement video for Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada.
With the January football transfer window currently open and clubs across Europe looking to add talent to their rosters for the run-in in the second half of the season, French team Olympique Lyonnais have made the exciting signing of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Almada joins on an initial loan from Brazilian club Botafogo, but his announcement was made in style in the latest in a long line of iconic transfer videos.
The 23-year-old midfielder’s signing was announced through a video shared by Lyon in which he receives a text message from ‘Lionel’ along with a goat emoji, clearly meant to be the legendary Lionel Messi, Almada’s compatriot and teammate in the Argentine national team. The text sent to Almada in this video reads “Don’t listen to Cristiano, Ligue 1 is incredible.”
Lyon’s retribution for Ronaldo’s comments
The text provides a sneaky tongue-in-cheek remark from the seven-time French champions, who are referencing Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comment regarding Ligue 1 being a weaker competition than the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plies his trade for Al Nassr. Ronaldo had claimed there was a better standard of football in Saudi Arabia, with the French league considered the weakest of the ‘top five’ leagues in Europe.
Messi, meanwhile, spent two years playing in France, having spent a period in the capital with Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Barcelona. Messi was the latest star at PSG, playing alongside Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, before the trio was broken up as they left France with Messi heading to Inter Miami, Neymar to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe finally getting his marquee move to Real Madrid.
Almada was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, helping Messi finally get his hands on the coveted trophy and firmly setting his status as the greatest of all time in stone. Almada has represented Argentina six times, scoring twice, and finally earned a move to Europe after playing for Atlanta United in the MLS and a brief spell in the Brazilian Serie A at Botafogo. Almada will be joining fellow Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico, who also made a cameo appearance in the announcement video.
Lyon currently sit in sixth place in the Ligue 1 table with half the season concluded, but will have intentions of fighting for spots in next year’s UEFA Champions League with a strong end to the season, in which Almada could play an important role.
