Lionel Messi transfer: MLS chief explains plan to sign PSG star in mega-money move

Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber revealed any plan to bring Lionel Messi to the league will likely be a similar deal to the one signed by David Beckham when he joined the Los Angeles Galaxy 16 years ago.

Messi - a World Cup champion after leading Argentina to glory in Qatar - is scheduled to be a free agent this summer and the legendary forward star is in negotiations with his current club Paris Saint-Germain about extending his stay in the French capital.
