Report: Lionel Messi already negotiating over next transfer

It has not even been a month since Lionel Messi completed his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona but it seems like talks over his next move have already begun according to English outlet Mirror.

The entire footballing community was in shock when it emerged that Messi would no longer be a Barcelona player. The Catalans’ inability to renew his contract due to financial constraints meant that the six-time Ballon d’Or brought an end to his long and successful association with the club.

Messi signed for PSG on a free transfer, penning a two-year bumper contract. And, while he is yet to make his first appearance for the Ligue 1 giants, speculations over his next move after Paris are starting to do the rounds.

Next stop Miami?

As per the Mirror, former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar, David Beckham, who is the owner of Major League Soccer outfit Inter Miami FC, has already held talks with the 34-year-old former Barcelona skipper over the possibility of him ending his career in the United States.

Beckham, as per the report, has promised fans of a superstar signing in the near future and has Messi, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo in his sights. However, it seems like things are progressing with the former, with talks already being held, while the Argentine is also said to have bought six luxury penthouse apartments in Miami already.

Beckham’s Inter Miami FC co-owner, Jorge Mas, also indicated back in June that he was optimistic that Messi would play for the South Florida franchise in the future.

“I am optimistic Messi will play in an Inter Miami shirt because I think it will complete the legacy of the greatest player in our generation and will meet with the ambitions of the owners of Inter Miami to build a world-class team,” he had said.

Messi himself has admitted in the past that he would like to play in the U.S. Only time will tell, whether it comes to fruition.
