Why we signed Messi – Inter Miami co-owner, David Beckham

Inter Miami co-owner, David Beckham, has shed light on the rationale behind the club’s signing of Argentina captain Lionel Messi.

The 36-year-old forward recently joined Inter Miami as a free agent after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expired earlier this summer. The official announcement of Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami was made on Saturday.

Beckham, speaking about the acquisition of Messi, expressed his club’s intention to bring the world’s greatest players to Miami. He emphasized his desire to contribute to the growth of football in the United States and build a lasting legacy for future generations.

“When I embarked on this journey to establish a new team in Miami ten years ago, I dreamt of attracting the finest players in the world to this remarkable city,” Beckham explained. “I sought players who shared my ambition when I joined LA Galaxy to foster the development of football in the USA and leave a lasting legacy for future generations in this beloved sport.”

Beckham’s aspirations have now materialized with the signing of Lionel Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

The Inter Miami co-owner expressed immense pride in welcoming a player of Messi’s caliber to the club, while also emphasizing the personal connection between them.

Beckham referred to Messi as a good friend and an incredible individual, extending his warm greetings to Messi’s beautiful family as they become part of the Inter Miami community.

The addition of Messi to Inter Miami represents a significant milestone for the club and further demonstrates Beckham’s commitment to establishing a successful football franchise in Miami.

By attracting a player of Messi’s stature, Inter Miami aims to generate greater interest in the sport throughout the United States and contribute to the ongoing development of American soccer.
