Inter Miami appear to leak Lionel Messi's new shirt number with happy birthday post sending fans into meltdown | The Sun
INTER MIAMI seemed to leak Lionel Messi's new shirt number with a happy birthday post for their new superstar.
The Argentine legend turned 36 on Saturday.
And his new side took to Twitter with a less-than-cryptic post hinting at which number Messi will wear.
Inter Miami posted an image of a black brick wall with the words "Feliz Cumplio" written in pink graffiti-style text – although the first "e" was missing.
The "m" was in the font used on the club's badge.
But the tell-tale sign was the "io" being replaced by "10" and changed to white to stand out.

It clearly implies Messi will be wearing his famous No10 jersey when he lines up for the Herons for the remainder of the 2023 MLS season.
Messi wore the iconic number for many years at Barcelona and continues to do so as Argentina captain.
However, he was forced to revert back to No30 when he joined Paris Saint-Germain because Neymar held the number.
The No10 is available at Inter Miami because Messi's former international team-mate Gonzalo Higuain retired.
