Mercato: Inter Miami monitors Messi’s situation in Paris
Last summer, Lionel Messi preferred to join Paris Saint-Germain rather than Inter Milan. But the MLS franchise, co-owned by David Beckham, still dreams of bringing in the Argentinian.
Will Lionel Messi leave Paris Saint-Germain after just one season? The Argentinian, who has not been successful since the start of the season and in the sights of Inter Miami, who dreams of attracting him to the American championship as Jorge Mas explains, in proposals relayed by the Miami Herald: “Leo Messi is still one of the best players in the world, his skills have not been reduced. David has a relationship with him, so if he leaves PSG, the moment he leaves, we would like to see Lionel Messi play at Inter Miami and be part of our community. Can this happen? We will push in this direction. I am an optimist at heart. Could I see this happening? It’s a possibility. »
For his part, David Beckham was much less optimistic: “I always said I wanted the best players for our club because there is a certain expectation, explains the former England international. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be a bad thing. But most of the time, that’s a good thing. When I started this project, people said: ‘This guy is coming, this guy is coming, Ronaldo is coming, Messi is coming’. At the end of the day, we had to win above all else, whether it was with the youngsters or the stars. Our fans will be happy if we have stars in the team, but they will be even happier if they see young players come through our academy and win MLS. »
