Miami, Florida - October 10, 2023
Inter Miami CF co-owner David Beckham is reportedly keeping a close eye on Lionel Messi's situation at Paris Saint-Germain as the MLS Cup playoffs approach. ESPN reports that Beckham is "very interested" in the possibility of bringing Messi to Miami next summer when his contract with PSG expires.
Messi's Future Uncertain
Messi, 35, has been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain for some time. The Argentine superstar has not yet signed a new contract with the French club, and his future remains uncertain. Inter Miami is one of several clubs that have been linked with a move for Messi, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
Beckham's Ambitions
Beckham has been open about his ambitions to bring world-class players to Inter Miami. The former England captain has already signed Gonzalo Higuaín and Blaise Matuidi to the club, and he is keen to add even more star power to the squad. Messi would be the biggest signing in Inter Miami's history, and it would be a major coup for Beckham and his co-owners.
MLS Cup Preparations

The club finished the regular season in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they will face the New England Revolution in the first round of the playoffs. Beckham will be hoping that his team can make a deep run in the playoffs, and he will be even more confident if he can add Messi to the squad in the near future.
