Inter Miami still hopeful of convincing Barcelona legends to join the club

Inter Miami have been a prominent name in Barcelona circles lately, primarily due to the club’s ambition to sign the likes of Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi.

Partly owned by footballing icon David Beckham, the club want to establish themselves as one of the best in North America and have been home to players such as Gonzalo Higuain in recent years.

A recent report from Diario SPORT has offered an update on MLS’s pursuit of Busquets and Messi, suggesting that the club are still hopeful of convincing these two footballing superstars to move to Miami.

The ongoing transfer market in MLS will come to an end in the middle of April but should reopen in the month of June. While Inter Milan may find it difficult to meet Messi’s salary demands, a recent report states that MLS clubs could come in unison to attract the Argentine.

The clubs would allow Messi to choose the club he wants to play for. Naturally, Inter Miami would be the top choice, as the forward even owns property in Miami while the city’s large Hispanic community should be of his liking as well.

Meanwhile, Inter Miami are also looking to snatch Busquets. As of now, the midfielder has received a renewal offer from Barcelona, but it includes a hefty salary cut and not much incentives, due to the club’s poor financial conditions.

Busquets is taking his time to come to a decision, but a definitive update on the player’s future is just around the corner. Although the veteran midfielder has offers from Saudi Arabian clubs, the possibility of Messi joining Inter Miami could coerce him to opt for a move to the United States.
