Lionel Messi’s amazing career as a professional soccer player could end in Major League Soccer, which is becoming increasingly likely.
According to a recent Direct TV report, the Argentine star is seriously considering purchasing 35 percent of Inter Miami’s shares prior to his involvement in American soccer in the 2023 season.
Messi wants to stay in European football for at least another season, mostly to play at the greatest level in preparation for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Argentina is a favorite to win.
For his part, Inter Miami’s president, David Beckham, has consistently expressed his desire to have one of the greatest footballers in history on his team. In this way, such news should come as no surprise to fans of the South Florida team.
If the Argentine player joins the MLS team, he will do so at the age of 36, following a less-than-stellar (so far) venture in PSG, which has added another disappointment, being eliminated from this season’s Champions League.
In addition to Messi, Luis Suárez and Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently played for Atlético de Madrid and Manchester United, respectively, are rumored to play for Beckham’s team.
It’s crucial to keep in mind that the MLS isn’t Lio’s only option after his contract with PSG expires in June 2023, since the prospect of him returning to his esteemed club, FC Barcelona, has also been mentioned.
Numbers of Lionel Messi with PSG in 2021-22
Messi’s numbers in his first year with PSG haven’t been bad, but they’re nowhere near what they were with Barcelona: he only scored six goals in 25 league games, although contributing 13 assists.
Regarding his recent performance in the Champions League , the 34-year-old scored five goals in seven games. It’s a good effort, but not good enough to keep the French team from being eliminated by Real Madrid.
Unfortunately for his followers, Messi’s goals upon his arrival in Paris couldn’t be met, so he seems determined to seek new horizons.
