According to sources, it’s been reported that David Beckham’s Inter Miami has finalized a deal with Luis Suarez. The close friend and former striking partner of Messi will reportedly sign a one-year contract with the US team, with an option for an additional 12 months.
It can be observed that Messi’s time at Inter Miami is equivalent, in the event that Luis Suarez activates his second season playing football in the United States.
However, as per sources, it seems that Messi is still interested in having some of his former teammates from Barca join him in Miami, after Luis Suarez and Sergi Roberto were already mentioned.
According to Theo El Gol Digital, it was reported that Messi had a conversation with David Beckham and suggested to sign the midfielder Ivan Rakitic, who had previously played alongside him at Barca and is currently playing for Sevilla.
It appears that things are going in that direction, as all signs indicate that Rakitic will not renew with Sevilla. The club is reportedly looking to reduce the Croatian midfielder’s salary by 85%. Rakitic has played for Barcelona for six years alongside Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez. Although he may not be extremely close with this group, they work well together and understand each other on the field. Recently, there has been a lot of talk in the media about David Beckham’s attentiveness to Messi, taking care of the legendary number 10 not only in terms of his skills but also prioritizing his mental well-being. This ensures that not only Leo, but also his wife, children, and loved ones feel comfortable and happy in the United States as if they were at home, despite it being a relatively short time. This is because the former Manchester United star values Messi too much and shows him the utmost respect, willing to “nurture” the treasure that he has convinced to join his team – something that seemed impossible… Beckham has shown that he is not only a talented player on the field and a gentleman off the field but also a master of psychology, winning people’s hearts while still making money!
