It would go down as the biggest coup in MLS history if David Beckham can close out a deal to bring Lionel Messi to Inter Miami.
The iconic forward will depart Paris Saint-Germain this summer following two years in the French capital, with his impending departure having inspired a clamour for his signature. It had been mooted that the Argentinian superstar could join old foe Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia next season, with former club Barcelona also keeping tabs on his availability.
However, it appears that the World Cup winner could be ready to snub the advances of both the Saudi Pro League and Barcelona to move stateside. Beckham's MLS franchise is said to be 'optimistic' regarding the chances of Messi committing to a move to South Beach.
