Inter Miami are edging closer to signing Lionel Messi and completing one of the biggest transfers in Major League Soccer history.
Messi, 35, is out of contract at the end of the season and has various options on the table. It's believed Paris Saint-Germain want him to sign a new contract in the French capital and ex-club Barcelona are interested in luring him back to the Camp Nou.
Yet it's thought David Beckham's influence is helping Miami land Messi. The Manchester United legend, who played for LA Galaxy in the MLS, is the co-owner of Miami and is reportedly using his contacts to persuade Messi to follow his dream and live in Florida.
