Fans have criticized Lionel Messi's current employers Inter Miami for trading defender Kamal Miller to Portland Timbers.
The Herons recently traded Miller in exchange for $625,000 in General Allocation Money and a 2024 international roster slot from the Portland Timbers. Moreover, Inter Miami will also retain an amount in the future, even if Miller moves out of the Major League Soccer (MLS).
Inter Miami announced the news by releasing an official statement on its website and social media accounts. The club also wished the Canadian defender success in the future.

Paris Saint-Germain star reveals he misses playing alongside Lionel Messi
Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe has revealed that he misses playing alongside Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes. The Frenchman also stated that playing with Messi is a luxury, which is special.
“Playing with Leo Messi is definitely something I miss a lot. You always miss not playing with Leo Messi anymore! For an attacker like me, who likes to attack spaces, with him you have the certainty that you can get the ball. It was a luxury that almost only he can give you. Beyond that, playing with Messi was special,” he said (via Amazon Prime Sport).
Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona on a free transfer in August 2021. He spent two years with Les Parisiens, amassing 75 appearances across competitions, and bagging 32 goals and 35 assists. Messi won the Ligue 1 title in both seasons with PSG.
In July 2023, he joined MLS side Inter Miami on a free transfer and signed a two-year deal. The Argentine skipper led the Herons to their maiden Leagues Cup triumph last year with 10 goals and an assist in seven matches.
