David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami, a well-known English football player in the past, said the moment of announcing the signing of Argentine striker Lionel Messi was very emotional. Beckham’s words lead the way CNN.
“We always knew it was possible, but when we started negotiations, it was clear that Leo had a contract and was playing for another team, so we had to be patient. But at the end of the day, patience was key throughout the whole process,” Beckham said.
In July, Inter Miami from MLS announced the Argentine’s free transfer.
Messi has been playing for Paris Saint-Germain for the past two years. His contract with the club is calculated until June 2023. In total, Messi recorded 16 goals and 16 assists in 32 games in the French championship last season.
Prior to that, he was part of Barcelona for 18 years, winning the Spanish Championship ten times, the Spanish Cup seven times and the Champions League four times with this team. The Argentine has won the Ballon d’Or seven times.
Former Barcelona player Hristo Stoichkov announced Messi’s rejection of a major contract in Saudi Arabia.
