Lionel Messi asks Inter Miami to sign 32-year-old ex-Barcelona star after MLS playoff elimination; David Beckham begins transfer talks: Reports
Lionel Messi has allegedly asked Inter Miami to sign ex-Barcelona forward Neymar with club president David Beckham already opening talks to make a potential deal happen.
Inter Miami, who won their maiden Major League Soccer (MLS) Supporters’ Shield last month, have been on the rise over the past 12 months. However, their season ended with a shock 3-2 MLS Cup playoff loss to Atlanta United in Miami earlier this Saturday (November 9).
Beckham, who oversaw the transfer that brought Messi to the Herons in 2023, has already initiated talks with Neymar’s camp over a possible move. He is prepared to offer the ex-Barcelona star a sizeable contract.
Neymar, who recently picked up a hamstring injury while playing for Al-Hilal, has a deal until June 2025 at his current club. He could move to Inter Miami to extend his record of playing alongside Messi 206 times.
