Lionel Messi's Father Refutes Claims He Has Already Agreed To Sign For Inter Miami When His Contract Expires In 2023
Lionel Messi's father and agent have
refuted claims that the superstar has agreed to join Inter Miami and acquire a
35 percent stake in David Beckham's franchise when his contract at
PSG expires next year.
After leaving Barcelona
where he scored 672 goals in 778 games, Messi sealed a two-year deal with
French Giants Paris Saint-German.
Messi has failed to replicate his top form
scoring only 11 goals in 33 outings for the French club. This has led to
speculations about his long-term future.
On Tuesday, May 17, Front office sports
reports that the Argentine will depart PSG when the deal runs out, and move to
Maimi to sign for Beckham's MLS club, while also acquiring a 35 percent stake
in the franchise.

According to French publication Le Parisien, via TMZ Sports,
Messi's agent and father Jorge has branded talk of his son agreeing to join
Inter 'completely false'.
Jorge is quoted as saying: 'Leo has
not yet decided on his future. And if Leo Messi has crossed paths with David
Beckham in the last few hours, it is only as part of PSG’s stay in Doha where
the former English midfielder plays a role as an ambassador for the next World
Cup in Qatar.'
