Mays announced a month and a half ago that he would be joining the International Miami, and the USL club officially announced on Sunday (16th) that Mays has "officially" signed a 2.5 year contract to join the club, and as expected, will be wearing the No. 10 jersey. The owner of the team, Billy Ham, was excited to say that the addition of Mays had fulfilled a promise he had made 10 years ago.
Before appearing on Monday (17) at InterMiami, Mays officially signed a contract with InterMiami until 2025, with an annual salary of about US$60 million (about HK$468 million). Mays said in a statement: "We are very excited to start a new chapter in our careers with MIAMI in the United States. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we will work together to make it happen."
International Maia Mi's owner, Billy Ham, said, "10 years ago, I started to prepare for the establishment of International Maia Mi, and at that time, I said that I would bring the world's greatest players to this beautiful city. Today, this dream has finally come true, and I feel honored to have a player of his caliber joining the team, and I would like to welcome the Meis family to the Maia Mi family."
