“I still think we will probably sign a contract with Messi’s brother. I asked my partners to come directly to the airport to meet and make sure it is the real Messi,” said David Beckham.

know, in a recent interview on SiriusXM radio system (USA).

David Beckham also explained many things that have not been known until now,

in what is considered a historic event on the day Messi announced his arrival at Inter Miami in July 2023 and conquered American football.

“We have been chasing Messi since before Inter Miami Club was founded and played its first official match in the MLS tournament (in 2018 and 2020 respectively).

My partner and I once snuck into a hotel in Barcelona to meet Messi’s father, who is also the agent, and I said: “Look, I know Leo (Messi) is not ready right now,

but I want your son to play for my club in the future.” For many years, we have always shown interest in Messi in any event, to let him know that we are always waiting,” David Beckham shared.

“In the summer of 2023, Messi announced that he would end his playing career at PSG after 2 relatively successful years. He also said he was considering his next step. We know this is the time. The expected point was coming. That same month, we knew that we would have to make a decision, make an offer to his agent, because Messi announced his departure from PSG.

So then, 4 or 5 a.m. in Japan, I’m lying in bed and my phone keeps ringing, buzzing, buzzing… Then I see, “Messi has decided to go to Miami”. Even now when I remember that feeling, I still get goosebumps. At that time, I sat up in bed and started crying,” David Beckham expressed.

David Beckham also gave factors for him and his partners to always have faith in convincing Messi to come to Inter Miami. That is in addition to the on-field offer, which includes a combination of commercial and television deals in the generous salary package paid to this famous player. The familiar elements of culture and language that Miami City brings to Messi also contributed to helping the Argentine player make the decision to come to the US and revolutionize football here.

“David Beckham’s vision, combined with perseverance, helped bring one of the most famous players of all time to America and the MLS,” AS (Spain) concluded.
