Global superstar Lionel Messi continues to have a huge say on transfer incomings at Inter Miami amid reports he has persuaded club owner David Beckham to bring in three more of his former Barcelona teammates to the club.
The MLS franchise were struggling badly when arguably the world’s greatest-ever player Messi moved to Inter
Miami following the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, such was Messi’s influence that he steered the club from the bottom of the table towards Leagues Cup glory – the first trophy in Inter Miami’s short history.
Scoring 11 goals in 14 appearances, including several trademark bangers, Messi’s quality quickly shone through and, but for a series of injuries that derailed their campaign, Inter Miami also made a late run for the MLS playoffs before ultimately falling short.
As iconic a player as Messi is, he could not have achieved all he did on his own, of course. And soon after his arrival in Florida in July, he also persuaded Beckham to bring in two of his former Barcelona teammates to the DRV PNK Stadium in the form of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Now it is reported that Messi is continuing to have a say on Inter Miami’s recruitment – and now hopes to be reunited with three more of his former teammates from the halcyon days at Camp Nou.
First, it is believed that Beckham has reached an agreement to sign 36-year-old Luis Suarez, who is expected to depart Gremio at the end of his contract, in advance of the upcoming Major League Soccer season.

Messi gives Inter Miami the order to bring in the former Barcelona trio.
Suarez, who with Messi and Neymar made up one-third of Barcelona’s renowned “MSN strikeforce,” was still incredibly prolific in the Brazilian Serie A, scoring 23 goals in 48 games despite his advanced age.
It is now anticipated that Suarez and Messi will resume their wonderful friendship and collaboration in Miami the following season.
However, reports claim that Inter Miami won’t stop at Messi, Suarez, or Busquets.
