Inside David Beckham's $1bn new Inter Miami stadium to house Lionel Messi

With the iconic Lionel Messi set to arrive at Inter Miami next month, it is clear that David Beckham's franchise is now on an upwards trajectory despite their on pitch toils.

The decision of the World Cup winner to spurn a potential switch back to former club Barcelona as well as the riches of the Saudi Pro League did catch some by surprise but plans are in place to transform the Sunshine State club in the coming years. For the time being, the Herons' players will be tasked with arresting the slide following an alarming losing run which has left them bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference.

However, the 35-year-old's addition to the struggling outfit's roster could well have a galvanising effect in the coming months and supporters will be hoping they can put the woes of recent times behind them. From a long-term perspective, the future does certainly look bright, with a $1 billion stadium also in the works and set to open in 2025.
