Inter Miami co-owner, David Beckham, has revealed that the club signed Argentine forward, Lionel Messi because they wanted to bring the greatest players in the world to Miami.
After the summer’s expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Messi signed with Inter Miami as a free agent.
The 36-year-old’s signing with Inter Miami as a player was confirmed on Saturday.
Beckham while explaining why the club signed Messi, said that he wants to leave a lasting legacy for the following generation while also advancing football in the USA.
“10 years ago, when I started my journey to build a new team in Miami, I said that I dreamt of bringing the greatest players in the world to this amazing city.
“Players who shared the ambition I had when I joined LA Galaxy to help grow football in the USA and to build a legacy for the next generation in this sport that we love so much.
“Today, that dream came true. I could not be prouder that a player of Leo’s [Lionel Messi] caliber is joining our club, but I am also delighted to welcome a good friend, an amazing person and his beautiful family to join our Inter Miami community,” Beckham said.
