How Inter Miami could line up with Lionel Messi as David Beckham’s side plan sensational free transfer from PSG
LIONEL MESSI is being heavily linked with a stunning move to Inter Miami at the end of the season.
The 35-year-old Argentine has re-discovered some of his best form for Paris Saint-Germain since the start of the new campaign, contributing 12 goals and 13 assists in 17 matches.

That's because, after two years with the east coast outfit, he hung up his boots earlier this month following the end of Miami's season.
