Kily González Says Lionel Messi Will Influence Inter Miami Football Decisions

Cristian “Kily” González has indicated that Lionel Messi’s views will carry weight in Inter Miami’s sporting decisions, with the club’s new manager stressing the value of listening to elite players.

González said Messi’s opinion is considered when Inter Miami assess football matters, describing it as a natural part of working with a player of his standing.

Messi remains the central figure in Inter Miami’s squad, and González’s comments underline the influence the Argentina captain is expected to retain under the new coaching staff.

The manager did not suggest that Messi would make decisions for the club, but made clear that input from players of that calibre should be heard when sporting plans are being discussed.
