Major League Soccer side Inter Miami is very confident in signing Paris Saint-Germain striker Lionel Messi in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Hailing from the famous La Masia, Lionel Messi spent most of his career playing for Catalan giants Barcelona.
The Argentine striker established himself as one of the best players in the history of football while wearing the Blaugrana shirt. He won everything possible for Barcelona and took it to the top of world football. Messi’s love for Barcelona was unparalleled. For this reason, it was often thought that the Argentine superstar would only retire with the Blaugrana shirt.
However, things developed differently. Despite Barcelona’s immense success on the pitch, it was grossly mismanaged for much of the last decade. This caused a financial crisis at the club. As a result, Barcelona was unable to register Lionel Messi’s contract. Messi left Barcelona as a free agent.
Inter Miami wants to sign Lionel Messi
After signing for Paris Saint-Germain at the beginning of last season, Lionel Messi is off to a rocky start. The Argentine striker was only able to score six goals in Ligue 1, which can be described as poor by the standards he has set for himself. Things got worse as Messi suffered multiple injuries and was also affected by COVID-19.
This time, the Argentine striker got off to a brilliant start. Lionel Messi has already scored twelve goals for PSG so far. In addition, he has provided thirteen assists in all competitions. The Argentine striker is currently one of the fittest players in the world.
However, his contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire at the end of this season. So if PSG fail to renegotiate a new extension deal, the Argentine will leave Parc des Princes as a free agent.
Now, according to a report by renowned journalist David Ornstein, MLS’s Inter Miami is looking to sign the striker next season.
In a recent Twitter post, Ornstein said: “Inter Miami increasingly confident in signing Lionel Messi. I don’t totally agree, but #InterMiamiCF now expects 35-year-olds to join and hopefully in the coming months.”
The journalist further stated that PSG are currently looking to extend Lionel Messi’s stay at the club. Messi’s previous team, FC Barcelona, ​​will also try to tie the striker down.
However, Messi is currently focused on the upcoming World Cup in Qatar 2022. The PSG striker will lead Argentina in the next World Cup. This will be Messi’s last appearance at the perennial event. The striker now wants to win the only trophy that has eluded him so far.
After the World Cup, Messi will make a decision about his future.
