However, the future of the Argentine will not be defined from June 2023: he ends his contract with PSG and the Inter Miami board of the MLS plans to sign him.

The rumor of a rapprochement between the Argentine and the club chaired by David Beckham has been going on for a few months, although there were no major developments.

According to the aforementioned source, the meetings between the representatives of Inter Miami and Lionel Messi have been confidential and the results left a good feeling in the Major League Soccer institution. Even David Ornstein, a journalist who revealed the information, details that ‘The Herons’ hope to close the deal in the coming months.

Although there was a positively developed dialogue, there is still no signed link, but the North American board hopes to take a key step after the Qatar 2022 World Cup. After the contest, the leadership of the North American squad will have a new meeting with the delegates of the ‘ Flea’ to ensure the signing.

This season, Lionel has found his best football version with the Parisians and has recorded impressive numbers: seven goals and 10 assists in Ligue 1 (12 games); while he has four goals and three qualifications to his teammates in the Champions League (four matches).
