Having David Beckham as an owner helps attract big players. Having Lionel Messi in the squad then favors the signing of other stars. The Inter Miami project is simple, and its implementation has not yet encountered any problems. After enlisting the eight-time Ballon d’Or in the summer of 2023, the MLS club recruited several of his former teammates at Barça, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
An XXL recruitment which allowed the Florida team to achieve the best regular season in the history of Major League Soccer in 2024. But this fine run was swept away as soon as the “Pulga” teammates entered the playoffs, with an elimination against Atlanta United. Frustrating for the players and their coach, Gerardo Martino, another close friend of the former Parisian, who decided to leave his post.
Someone close to Messi on the bench?
To replace him, Inter Miami leaders have identified two candidates. Which Lionel Messi also knows very well. Depending on Miami HeraldXavi Hernandez and Javier Mascherano would be the two options favored by “Becks”. The first has been free since his departure from FC Barcelona last May, and the second is currently at the head of the Argentine Espoirs, which he notably led during the Paris Olympic Games.
If other names like Erik ten Hag, Massimiliano Allegri, Frank Lampard, Joachim Löw, Maurizio Sarri, Pablo Zabaleta and Sylvinho also circulate in the American and Argentine press, the connection between the ex-Blaugranas of the Florida squad and the one of the two targeted priorities seems obvious. Small problem concerning Xavi Hernandez, the latter would rather like to continue his career in Europe.
