Inter Miami expects to sign Lionel Messi in the coming months for him to join the MLS club next season.
Discussions between the two parties have been going on for a couple of years and there is increasing confidence the deal will materialize.
Paris Saint-Germain have hoped to extend Messi’s contract, which expires at the end of the current season. Messi has also been linked with a return to Barcelona.
Jorge and Jose Mas — the brothers who co-own Inter Miami alongside David Beckham — are leading the negotiations and numerous meetings have taken place with the star’s father, Jorge.
Additional conversations aren’t expected until after the World Cup.
Inter Miami have always known that a move to their city is a source of attraction for Messi’s family, who already own a property there.
