A little about the topic

Inter Miami will push for the signing of the Argentinean, said club co-owner Jorge Mas, who suggested Beckham’s relationship with the PSG star could help them close the deal. David Beckham founded Inter Miami with Mas and his son Jose in 2018, with the intention of creating a new MLS dynasty and bringing more football exposure to the US. Big signings have been promised right off the bat and the likes of Gonzalo Higuain and Blaise Matuidi have already bought into the ambitious project at the DRV PNK Stadium, but landing Lionel remains the club’s ultimate goal.

What did Jorge Mas say?

Lionel moved to Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year deal with an extra year option after leaving Barcelona last summer. Lionel Messi solidified his position among the greatest players in history during his 17-year stint at the Camp Nou, but has yet to truly find his feet at the Parc des Princes, scoring just seven times in his first 23 appearances. It was reported that Lionel could be looking for an early escape route in the next transfer window, with Inter Miami inquiring as a possible destination for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Asked if the rumors are true, Mas said that Lionel Messi is still one of the best players in the world, his skills have not diminished. Mas thinks, and Beckham has a relationship with him, if he does leave Paris Saint-Germain, then at the time of his departure they will be happy to see that Messi will be an Inter Miami player and will be part of our community. Can it happen? Listen, they will push. Mas is an optimist at heart. according to Mas can he see how this happens? That’s quite possible.

David Beckham was also under pressure to see Lionel play in the striking Inter Miami pink jersey anytime soon, to which he replied that he always said he wanted the best players in their club to play in their jersey because there is certain expectation. Unfortunately, sometimes this can be bad. But most of the time it’s good.

When he first started this project, people said that this guy is coming, this guy is coming, Ronaldo is coming, Lionel is coming. At the end of the day, they have to win, whether it’s with young kids or stars. Their fans will be happy if they have stars on the team, but they will be even happier if they see young players coming through their academy and lifting the MLS Cup.
