It is a matter of days for Inter Miami to officially announce the signing of Lionel Messi. Recently one of the team’s owners, former player David Beckham, revealed how he found out that the Argentine would play for the South Florida team.
The British stated that the news had a great impact, beyond the fact that he already knew that there were advanced negotiations; Messi himself was not expected to confirm it to the press. Beckham explained how it all happened in an interview for The Athletic.
“A couple of weeks ago I woke up to about a million messages on my phone. I thought, ‘what happened? I don’t normally get that many messages. And all of a sudden, I heard Leo come out and announce that he was coming to Miami. Obviously, it wasn’t a surprise to me,” Beckham explained.
Beckham also stated that the signing of Messi by Inter Miami was like an obligation of the team towards the fans, since he always wanted to bring the best players to the club.
“I have always said, from the beginning, that if I had the opportunity to bring the best players to Miami, at any point in their careers, I would do it. It was like a promise”, commented the co-owner of the team.
That is why as soon as the possibility of the current world champion arriving at Inter Miami arose, Beckham did not hesitate to do everything possible to make it a reality, until he succeeded and the Argentine will wear the “Las Garzas” shirt.
“When I hear that one of the best players in the world, if not the best, who has won it all, who is still a great player, still young and still doing what he does, wants to play for my team, it’s a great moment for me. us ”, closed the former Manchester United and Real Madrid.
