MIAMI — Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber weighed in on the Lionel Messi to Inter Miami rumors as the club and league await word on the Argentine superstar’s plans for this summer.
Messi is said to be deciding between staying at Paris Saint-Germain at least one more season, going back to FC Barcelona or joining Inter Miami. If he comes to Miami, it will be for a “creative” deal that involves the league, Garber told The Athletic.
“You’re dealing with perhaps the most special player in the history of the game,” Garber said. “So, when there are rumors of him connected to Miami, that’s great. And if it could happen, it would be terrific for MLS, it would be terrific for Messi and his family, and like everything with us, we try to run every opportunity down. I can’t give any more details than that because we don’t have them.”
