Inter Miami are confident of signing Lionel Messi next summer, according to a report.
The 35-year-old Argentine icon, widely considered the greatest player of all time, is considering his next steps as he enters the final months of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Messi has rolled back the years with the Ligue 1 giants so far this season – epitomised by a two-goal masterclass in last week's 7-2 Champions League win over Maccabi Haifa – but hasn't committed beyond the end of the current campaign.
Speculation over a return to Barcelona has persisted almost from the moment he departed the Nou Camp in August 2021 but The Athletic report MLS upstarts Miami, part owned by David Beckham, expect to secure a sensational transfer for the legendary forward. It's said talks have already been held and are expected to resume once Messi returns from the Qatar World Cup with Argentina.
