Leo Messi (Reuters)
Where will Leo Messi play next season? In recent months, there have been many conflicting reports about the future of the flea. Some were for his return to financially impoverished Barcelona, while others argued for a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain.
At the same time as those reports, there were a lot of claims about an option for the Argentine to come to David Beckham’s Inter Miami and according to the latest report in The Times, the team from the MLS is close to reaching an agreement on a deal with the star, with the American club confident that the captain of the Argentina national team will sign after the World Cup in Qatar.
In Miami, Messi is expected to come to the United States from Paris at the end of the European season in a deal that will make him the highest earner ever in the history of the MLS league and in the history of American sports in general. In addition, the Times claims that in order to lure the 35-year-old player, Inter Miami is also eager to add Messi’s friends and former Barcelona stars – Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas. As you remember, in the past other old Barca stars such as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets were linked to the American team.

By the way, Messi has a house in Miami and it is known that he vacations there regularly. In an interview in 2020 he shared Messi On his dream of living in the USA: I always had an imagination of being able to enjoy and live the experience of life in the USA, to live this league and the life there. I would like that. Whether it will happen or not, I don’t know.”
According to the Times, the influence of David Beckham on the execution of such a deal should not be underestimated, when the former English star has a direct line with the owners of PSG and a direct connection to Messi through their sponsor Adidas.
As you remember, Inter Miami is a new club in the MLS league that was founded only on January 28, 2018. The club is owned by the company ‘Miami Freedom Park LLC’, in which Beckham is a partial partner. As you know, the former star of the England national team has spoken openly in recent years about his desire to lure the biggest stars in the world of football. Will he join one of the biggest ones? We will probably know at the end of the season.
