Lionel Messi is hours away from facing Cruz Azul, and now he receives some terrible news.
Lionel Messi is hours away from facing Cruz Azul, and now he receives some terrible news.

Lionel Messi decided to leave Europe to rest from the pressures and has been enjoying Miami since the first day he landed in the United States with his family. However, shortly after his great debut with the Garzas shirt (this Friday against Cruz Azul), a conflict knocks on the door of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7).

In the last few hours, the 'Double Yellow' portal gave the information that Andrés Iniesta will be a new Inter Miami player and will sign as a franchise player, thus relegating Josef Martínez from the category. However, Gastón Edul later announced that it was only an offer from Europe and that there are still no official contacts. Along the same lines, the Argentine journalist ratified the intention to sign Luis Suárez in this same transfer market.

This situation leaves Messi against a rock and a hard place, since it is difficult for the two to arrive in the same transfer market due to franchise player quota issues. Thus, the Argentine will have to choose between one of the two for the board to make the effort, although, to tell the truth, Suárez's option seems to be the most complicated due to Gremio's firm position of not releasing him until his contract ends.

How much is Gremio asking for Luis Suárez?

'El Pistolero' has a contract with the Porto Alegre team until 2024 and from Brazil they do not plan to let him out now. In this way, the only chance for the Uruguayan to leave Gremio today is if Inter Miami pays the 70 million euros of the clause, money that they do not have in the United States.
