Messi only wants to live in Barcelona
"I want Messi to live in Miami when he retires. But Messi told me that he only thinks about living near the Nou Camp (of Barcelona FC)," David Beckham expressed in a recent interview, when revealing the future of the Argentine star with Inter Miami FC.
David Beckham always shows a special love for Messi
David Beckham, chairman and co-owner of Inter Miami with billionaire Jorge Mas, also emphasized: "No player loves Barcelona as much as Messi. You can see the Barca logo on his leg and even on his water bottle. We hope and want to keep Messi at Inter Miami for as long as possible, but we cannot convince him to live long-term in Miami after retirement."
Messi and his Inter Miami teammates are preparing for the 2025 season with a tour of Peru to face Club Universitario at 8am on January 30 (Vietnam time). This is also the final season of Messi's current contract with Inter Miami. However, the club's owners are negotiating to activate the extension clause for the next year 2026, and sign another year when the Argentine star turns 40 in 2027.
According to AS (Spain): "Messi is very happy at Inter Miami. Therefore, it is entirely possible that this famous player will reach an agreement to extend his contract and sign for another year in the near future. Inter Miami wants Messi to be present when they open their new stadium Freedom Park in early 2026, starting a very promising new start for the team."
However, Mr. David Beckham, who has a very special love for Messi, suggested that the famous player stay with the team in a different direction, which is to live long-term in Miami with him to continue developing the Inter Miami Club.
"David Beckham clearly wanted to try to win Messi's love from Barcelona to Inter Miami, but still could not succeed," according to AS .
Messi is very happy at Inter Miami
David Beckham was heavily involved in the effort to bring Messi to MLS. The deal was a huge success, benefiting David Beckham and all parties involved, with Inter Miami being the focus.
This is also the team that Mr. David Beckham conceived and formed in 2013 after retiring, and now he is very proud of the club's advancement to a new level.
"I've always believed in the potential. You know, America is a great country, one of the greatest countries with the best opportunities and you believe in that. When I moved to America to play, I knew it was the land of opportunity. I knew I wanted to live in America at some point and create a business like we did.
Now I'm sitting in my chair, in Miami, in the stadium that I created and Messi walks onto the pitch and I think: 'I'm so proud of that,' David Beckham expressed when emphasizing the reasons he chose to play in the US and seize the opportunity for himself after finishing his playing career, and becoming the successful businessman he is today.
