Inter Miami announced that they had parted ways with Nick Marsman. This development came after the Dutchman criticized the club for signing Argentine legend Lionel Messi. Messi ended his European chapter at Paris Saint Germain (PSG) before signing with Inter Miami.
According to the reports from Sportskeeda, Inter Miami chief David Beckham was the main architect behind Marsman's contract termination. Major League Soccer (MLS) enables every club to buy out a maximum of one player's contract. Beckham exercised this rule and terminated Marsman's deal.
