'Look, we will push': Inter Miami owner issues big update on Messi interest

"I think, and David [Beckham] has a relationship with him," Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas has told the media, according to TalkSPORT.

"If he does leave PSG, at the time he leaves it, we'd love to see Lionel Messi be a player at Inter Miami and be part of our community.

"Can it happen? Look, we'll push. I'm an optimist at heart. Could I see that happening? It's a possibility," Mas concluded.

Inter Miami have been linked with Messi's potential move for a few years already. The Argentine is likely to join the Major League Soccer side in 2023 when his Paris Saint-Germain contract ends.

Former European football stars Gonzalo Higuain and Blaise Matuidi currently play for David Beckham-owned team.
