The team, founded in 2018 by David Beckham and the brothers Jorge and José Mas, is looking to have Lionel Messi in its squad. In 2023 the contract with PSG ends, and Inter Miami wants to have Messi in the MLS League.
Since David Beckham presented the Inter Miami franchise, rumors and the star’s desire to include stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have emerged. But as the months go by, this rumor has gained strength, and some already confirm that talks have been taking place in the last months to inject power into the team with the acquisition of players of Messi’s level.
Messi on MLS
This is something that would change the history of the team and the league. The expressions of directors and coaches about Messi are forceful about his level and praise his game and image, which has led many to think about the truth of this rumor.
There has been talking for some time about Inter Miami’s interest in signing the best player in the world. The journalist David Ornstein is the one who reports the news, and there are factors to consider, such as the fact that this journalist has no relationship with Messi or David Beckham. However, he has made very accurate announcements of signing and other important events in the Premier League, although not in the MLS.
The MLS is characterized by hiring big soccer stars; such is the case that at the time, Pelé played in the league, so the scope that a team may have to hire a player like Messi is not ruled out.
In the summer of 2021, before the PSG agreement, the City Football Group made an offer to sign Messi for five years, thinking of having the first three years at Manchester City and the next two at New York City.
Now it is Inter Miami that awaits the turn to nail down Messi’s arrival in the United States.
The best signing in MLS history
The signing of Messi to this league would be historical and of significant impact, this fact being considered the most important of all time in the MLS. It is rumored that the player is waiting for what happens in the Qatar World Cup to make a decision about his future.
One of the strong reasons seen as alluring to Messi and Inter Miami’s strong interest is the construction of Miami Freedom Park. This $1bn stadium complex will provide Inter Miami with a home to brag about.
The MLS also continues to grow strong. This league has been stealing attention in recent years, and recently with the strong signings they have achieved, such as Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini, and they hope to consolidate their power with the acquisition of Messi.
Theories about Messi’s relationship with Inter Miami are based on the fact that the player maintains a certain friendship with David Beckham, and the Argentine would be willing to acquire a 35% stake in the club.
Messi is not a player in decline, and he still has excellent quality and talent if he puts his mind to it; he could play 3 or 4 more years at the highest level; therefore, his arrival in the MLS would give a significant boost to the league and would contribute more competitiveness and projection.
Head coach Phil Neville and sporting director Chris Henderson are very optimistic about signing Messi, as this would help the club improve their level of play. In the last two seasons, Inter Miami has become a force to be reckoned with in MLS; last season, they reached the playoffs and aspired to be one of the top clubs in the tournament.
The eyes of the world are on Qatar.
At the moment, the eyes of the world are on Qatar as it is believed that Lionel Messi and the Argentine team will be the world cup champions. The odds currently have Argentina at +650 behind only Brazil at +400 and defending champion France at +600.
