Following the official announcement of reaching agreements with Messi, Inter Miami continues to surprise fans by approaching many famous players to bring them to the American professional football league (MLS).
According to Football Italia, Angel Di Maria, Messi’s teammate and 2022 World Cup winner, is the latest player that Inter Miami has approached. The Argentine midfielder joined Juventus in the summer of 2022 on a one-year contract with the option of a 12-month extension. However, the 35-year-old has announced his departure from the club as soon as the 2022-2023 season ends. Argentinian journalist Cesar Luis Merlo has also confirmed that Inter Miami has officially made offers to Di Maria, and the midfielder is seriously considering it.
The 35-year-old winger, Angel Di Maria, has enjoyed success alongside Messi both at club and national team level. Di Maria is known for scoring in many important matches, such as the 2022 World Cup final against France and the Copa America final against Brazil. Interestingly, Argentina emerged as champions in both finals in which Di Maria scored. At the club level, Di Maria and Messi also lifted the Ligue 1 title with PSG in the 2021-2022 season.
According to TyC Sports, in addition to Di Maria, Inter Miami is planning to recruit three former teammates of Messi: Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez. The club hopes that Messi’s close relationship with these players will convince them to move to the MLS and join Inter Miami.
Inter Miami has been in talks with Sergio Busquets after the 34-year-old midfielder left Barcelona at the end of the 2022-2023 season. Busquets was a close teammate of Lionel Messi during their time together at Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Jordi Alba is also on the radar of Inter Miami. Several newspapers in Spain have reported that Messi personally had dinner with his former teammate to persuade him to move to the MLS.
Striker Luis Suarez, currently playing for the Brazilian club Gremio, is also being targeted by Inter Miami. Despite his age, the management of Inter Miami believes that Suarez can still adapt and perform well in the MLS due to the less demanding playing field. Moreover, Suarez and Messi once formed a famous attacking trio called MNS alongside Neymar. David Beckham’s team believes that their chemistry is a solid foundation for both players to integrate easily and quickly with Inter Miami.
Inter Miami believes that they will be able to attract famous players thanks to the presence of Messi. His star power and influence in the football world make Inter Miami an appealing destination for top players. The opportunity to play alongside Messi, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, can be a major draw for other high-profile players. Inter Miami hopes that Messi’s presence will enhance their reputation and make them an attractive option for talented players looking for new challenges in their careers.
