After spending two years in France with PSG, Messi signed for the MLS side in July on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
David Beckham has outlined why he chose to bring Lionel Messi to Inter Miami earlier this summer, marking one of the biggest transfers the MLS has ever seen.
Having already claimed his first piece of silverware in the US, Miami still have an outside chance of making the playoffs this year, with the likes of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets also linking up with their former Barca team-mate stateside. ''When I started this journey 10 years ago, announcing that I was starting a team in Miami, my vision was always to bring the best players," he said. "I suppose as an owner of a team, you always want to bring in the best players, but the chance of bringing in the best, is difficult and always challenging.
''I turned around to his dad and said, ‘we want your son, we want him to come to Miami when he’s ready’, and if that’s a possibility. We continued the conversations, and with my partners, Jorge Mas and Jose [Mas], we just worked on it for about four years.
