Lionel Messi's impact at Inter Miami and the MLS has been great so far, as many football fans have started to watch more MLS games. The impact was expected since Messi is one of the best players in the world and is one of the greatest footballers of all time. Messi joined Inter Miami last summer and has already won a trophy with them as they lifted the Leagues Cup. Messi will now play his first full MLS season with Inter Miami, and the club is excited to see where the Argentine could take them. While Messi is at the end of his football career, many are wondering what he might do when he hangs up his boots. Inter Miami and Messi might have already planned what the Argentine could do after his career.

Forbes reports that Jorge Mas, owner of Inter Miami, was targeting Lionel Messi for a long time, and he wanted to sign the best players on the planet. It seemed impossible to convince Messi to join the MLS as he was playing at a high level in Europe with PSG, but a luxurious deal convinced him, which also convinced David Beckham when he joined LA Galaxy in 2007. Beckham had been offered a unique deal that gave him an option to start an expansion team for $25 million.

Beckham was then appointed as the club president for the Inter Miami project, and Messi has reportedly offered the same deal. Sun Sport reports that Lionel Messi could become a co-owner of Inter Miami alongside David Beckham, with a clause similar to the one for Englishmen. Messi seems to enjoy Miami, and it could be a spot for him and his family to stay in for many years, especially after the proposed deal.
