The deal to bring superstar forward Lionel Messi to Inter Miami will likely go down as the biggest coup in the history of the MLS.
Ever since the Florida franchise was established back in 2018, it has been the ambition of co-owner David Beckham to secure the services of a bona fide star of the game. Seeing off strong competition for the 35-year-old's signature, the former England captain now has his wish in the form of maybe the greatest footballer to have ever walked the planet.
For a while, it appeared as though a move to join old rival Cristiano Ronaldo and current Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia was in the offing for the Argentinian icon. On top of this, an emotional return to Barcelona also looked to be a potential option for Messi, especially after his father and agent revealed that his son 'would love' a reunion at the club where he spent 17 years.
