Inter Miami, the MLS team co-owned by David Beckham, is making moves to strengthen their squad by targeting two former Barcelona stars, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez. The club’s president, Jorge Mas, has confirmed that talks have been held with both players. This comes after Inter Miami secured the signings of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.
Lionel Messi, the 36-year-old football legend, has chosen Inter Miami over a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal. Meanwhile, 34-year-old midfielder Sergio Busquets is also set to make his move to MLS. Alba, 34, is available as a free agent following his departure from Barcelona, while Suarez, 36, currently plays for Brazilian side Gremio and has a release clause.
Mas mentioned in an interview with El Pais, “Two or three more players will come. We spoke with Jordi Alba, while Luis Suarez has a contract and a release clause. I don’t know if that will happen or not.”
Inter Miami, led by David Beckham, is eager to bolster their squad even further and believes Messi’s presence will help attract other big names. Confirmation of Messi’s arrival is expected soon, according to MLS commissioner Don Garber. He expressed his excitement, saying, “I think it’s a great testament to where MLS is on the global soccer landscape. Also a great testament to Inter Miami, their ambition, and what they are trying to do to build the sport in South Florida. He (Messi) is very supportive, passionate – it is going to be a great moment for soccer in North America.”
Inter Miami recently appointed Tata Martino as their coach. Martino has previously worked with Messi at Barcelona and the Argentine national team. He emphasized that Messi and Busquets are not joining Inter Miami for a vacation but for hard work, competition, and victory. “Sometimes people hear Miami, they think holidays. But these two players are not coming here for a vacation, they are here to work and compete and win. That is in their blood.”
Messi, who was reportedly offered €400 million per season by Al-Hilal, has decided to reunite with his former Barcelona teammate, Sergio Busquets, at Inter Miami instead. The club is excited about the potential of their star-studded lineup and is actively pursuing Alba and Suarez to strengthen their squad further.
