It seemed impossible at first. Because it was said that Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were the only clubs in the whole planet that could afford Lionel Messi's wages once he leaves FC Barcelona in June. But guess what, there are some new options for him in MLS, 

This revelation came from the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, close to FC Barcelona. There are two teams interested in the Argentinian. One of them, as expected, is Inter Miami CF. David Beckham and Messi have a good relationship and the English said not so long ago that if he can bring big European players to Miami, he will.

The other option is New York City FC. For this to happen, there will probably be a move to Manchester City in between. The City Football Group has a long term plan for him, where he plays in the Premier League, then in MLS, and then become an ambassador for the brand.

So, MLS fans have something to look forward to. The league has been revolutionizing itself for years and years, but a transfer like this would be something beyond everything. Lionel Messi in MLS. Lionel Messi in MLS. Lionel Messi in MLS. Looks like a dream, but it can become true.

What MLS team is taking the lead to sign him?

Probably Inter Miami CF. The GOAT has already an appartment in the city, in the Porsche Design Tower. Him and Beckham have shared many business meetings, given Ttey are represented by the same sports brand (Adidas). Also, Lio would like to go out with being rarely recognized.
