Forbes said that the above information was just revealed by leading Argentine football analysts, Argentine reporter Hernan Castillo and Barca transfer expert Gerard Romero. Currently, the story of Messi's "next destination" is attracting the attention of the entire world football village.

Last week, the sports news site Sport revealed that Inter Miami offered Messi a salary of 54 million USD/year in a 4-year contract as a free transfer, when he leaves PSG at the end of June because his contract with the French capital team expires, thereby making M10 the highest paid player in MLS.

The offer from the American team for the Argentine superstar also includes sponsorship deals with big brands like Apple and Adidas.

At the end of April, David Beckham visited PSG's Camp des Loges training center and met with contemporary stars such as Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. PSG was the last team of the former English player in his career before retiring exactly 10 years ago. However, French media said that David Beckham's purpose was not only to return to his old team after a decade, but also seemed to want to approach and convince Messi to play football in the US.

To date, Messi has maintained close ties with his former club Barca and the “rich guy” Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Barca is looking to strengthen its squad to aim for higher ambitions next season, including the hope of bringing Messi back to their legendary Nou Camp. For its part, Al-Hilal is said to have invited M10 to play in Saudi Arabia with an income of 1.3 billion USD for two seasons, three times higher than the current income of “great rival” Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

However, analysts consider Inter Miami to be the most likely destination because Barca cannot secure a huge deal until they sell players due to financial fair play. Meanwhile, Messi has previously shared that he wants to live in the US and experience the professional football environment in the land of the stars and stripes.

The Mirror also quoted female reporter Veronica Brunati, who is said to be a close friend of Messi's family, posting on Twitter that Inter Miami has made an offer to Messi and is getting closer to finalizing a contract with the 2022 World Cup champion. "Inter Miami is very optimistic about this possibility," she emphasized.

Inter Miami is currently run by president David Beckham. Head coach Phil Neville, a former teammate of David Beckham at MU, was fired due to poor results and replaced by interim coach Javier Morales.

Bringing Messi to MLS would certainly be the biggest "tsunami" in the history of American football, as it is considered to be able to surpass the deal that brought Beckham to join LA Galaxy in 2007.
