Forbes reports that this information was revealed by leading Argentinian football analysts, Argentinian journalist Hernan Castillo and Barcelona transfer expert Gerard Romero. The story of Messi's next destination is currently attracting worldwide attention in the football world .

Last week, sports news site Sport revealed that Inter Miami offered Messi a salary of $54 million per year on a four-year free transfer deal, when he leaves PSG at the end of June after his contract with the French capital club expires, making M10 the highest-paid player in MLS.

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

In late April, David Beckham visited PSG's Camp des Loges training center and met with contemporary stars like Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. PSG was the last club the former English star played for before retiring exactly 10 years ago. However, French media suggest that David Beckham's purpose was not only to return to his old club after a decade, but also to approach and persuade Messi to play in the United States.

To this day, Messi still maintains close ties with his former club, Barca, and the wealthy Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Barca is looking to strengthen its squad to pursue higher ambitions for the next season, hoping to bring back their legendary Messi to the Nou Camp. For its part, Al-Hilal is reportedly offering Messi a move to Saudi Arabia with a salary of $1.3 billion for two seasons, three times the current income of his "great rival" Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

However, analysts consider Inter Miami the most likely destination because Barca cannot secure a huge deal until they sell some players due to Financial Fair Play regulations. Meanwhile, Messi has previously expressed his desire to live in the US and experience the professional soccer environment there.

The Mirror also quoted journalist Veronica Brunati, who is believed to be a close friend of the Messi family, as posting on Twitter that Inter Miami had made an offer to Messi and were 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 Manchester United, was recently sacked due to poor results and replaced by interim coach Javier Morales.

Bringing Messi to MLS would undoubtedly be the biggest "tsunami" in American soccer history, potentially surpassing the deal that brought Beckham to LA Galaxy in 2007.
