Beckham wants Suarez to join Messi at Miami
David Beckham still can’t believe Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami – with more superstars potentially coming the Englishman’s way.
Beckham, who co-owns the Major League Soccer hopefuls, managed to lure Messi, 36, to Florida in July following his exit from Paris Saint-Germain. The Ballon d’Or holder made an immediate impact stateside, scoring 11 goals in his first 14 appearances for Miami.
Beckham has assembled quite the squad in the United States, with Barcelona icons Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets also on Miami’s books. The former England captain is hoping to bring more of Messi’s former team-mates to Florida next year.
It’s believed Miami are wanting to sign Ivan Rakitic once his contract with Sevilla expires in June, while Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto is also on Beckham’s transfer shortlist. One player who seems destined to join Miami is Messi’s good friend Luis Suarez.
Signing Suarez would be a huge coup for Miami – just like landing Messi was four months ago.
