Inter Miami president Jorge Mas told El Pais: “Two or three more players will come. We spoke with Jordi Alba — while Luis Suarez has a contract and a release clause. I don't know if that will happen or not”. And Romano retweeted this message.
Last month, Lionel Messi announced that he would not be re-joining Barcelona upon the expiry of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Instead, the 36-year-old will head stateside to join Inter Miami.
The MLS side have also signed Sergio Busquets, while they are also in negotiations with Jordi Alba and Sergio Ramos. Their owner, Jorge Mas, told El Pais (via Sport) that he believes these signings, especially Messi’s, could catapult the MLS into the top leagues in world football.
“In 2019 we started thinking about how we could bring him (to the club). Messi can turn MLS into the second or third best league in the world. I think he will want to make his mark, and he will be able to do it beyond football.”
Mas’ remarks state that he has been working on Messi’s move since 2019, when he was at Barcelona. The Argentine will soon make his debut for Inter Miami, although his move has yet to be officially confirmed.
Also, according to Marca, David Beckham plans to bring Alba, Busquets, Messi and Suarez to Inter Miami, they are trying to get the Barcelona band back together.
"We want to build a team around Messi," Mas said. He also told the reporter that they have been chasing Messi for 3 years.
"All the announcements will be made before July 15", according to Mas
