Now coach of Inter Miami, MLS, Phil Neville has shown his excitement about a possible signing of Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi’s future is surely being decided right now. Between a departure from PSG this summer, an (improbable) return to Barça or a departure for MLS, the future of the Pulga is currently more than cloudy. In the United States, it is David Beckham’s club, Inter Miami, which seems best placed to attract the seven-time Ballon d’Or.

His trainer, Gary Neville, in any case affirmed for The Athletic that it would be a historic and very significant transfer: “It would be huge for MLS. I think that would probably be the biggest signing ever in American sports.The Argentinian’s arrival in MLS and Miami would push the club into another dimension. What does not seem to bother the former Manchester United player: “Life will change. Things will be different. But maybe that’s what we aspire to anyway. It’s exciting, but I think it would be a huge challenge.»

PSG still in the lead?

If rumors from Spain reported a meeting between Jorge Messi and Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, ​​it would not be. Florent Torchut and Gaston Edul, two journalists very close to the Messi clan denied the information of a return to Barça.

According to them, the Argentinian, at the end of the contract next June, still gives his preference to Paris Saint-Germain. Negotiations continue around an agreement for an extension of an additional year, until June 2024. According to Florent Torchut, other meetings are planned to discuss the salary and move forward on the signing of the contract.

Information confirmed by his Argentinian colleague.
