Lionel Messi still hasn’t played a minute for his new club, but the media hype is still very much on when it comes to his arrival in the USA. Inter Miami is his new club, and its co-owner is the famous David Beckham, whose aim was always to bring some famous player to Miami. And finally, he made it, as Messi is still regarded as the best player in the world. Beckham was patient and waited for the Argentinian, whose first options were a PSG extension and then a Barca signing, but in the end, the former Manchester United midfielder got his man. And even he was surprised.Martino: Messi and Busquets are coming to win titles, not on holidayOne would think that being in negotiations with Messi means that you are among the first ones to know if the player is coming to your club or not, but according to Beckham’s statements, it didn’t look like that. Inter Miami owner was obviously not informed, as he woke up and then heard the news that Messi was coming – from the media.“A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to about a million messages on my phone. I was thinking, “What’s gone off? I don’t usually get this many messages”. All of a sudden, I hear Leo has come out and announced he’s coming to Miami. Obviously, it wasn’t a surprise to me. I have always said, from the word go, that if I had the opportunity to bring the best players in the game to Miami, at whatever time of their careers, I would do that. I have always made that commitment to our fans. So when I hear that one of the best players — if not the best player — who has won everything in the game, who is still a great player, still young and still doing what he’s doing, wants to play for my team, it’s a massive moment for us“ said Beckham.Miami Vice, football edition! Beckham is confident of landing Lionel Messi for his MLS teamThe former England international started his USA journey as an LA Galaxy player, but he also was in PSG and Real Madrid. But if you ask him, he always though that he would start and finish his career with Manchester United. And that would probably happen if it wasn’t for that infamous incident with sir Alex Ferguson, after which Beckham left England.“I always felt I would start my career at Manchester United and end my career at Manchester United. I had no intention of leaving at any point and I didn’t want to play for any other club. For the next three years after leaving, I couldn’t even watch United on television. Being at United, and supporting them, for as long as I had, it was obviously upsetting“ he admitted speaking at St Johns Wood United Synagogue in north London via the Athletic. Years after, he and Ferguson settled their differences and who knows what could have been if he stayed.##NAJAVA_MECA_7351560##
