In the MLS Eastern Conference, David Beckham’s Inter Miami is leading Lionel Messi’s club ahead of Toronto and Cincinnati. The 36-year-old Argentine, who won the World Cup, has ten goals and nine assists in eight Major League Soccer games this season. Three former Barcelona colleagues, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suarez, are traveling with him to the United States.
With Messi, Alba, and Busquets entering midseason when Inter Miami was at the bottom, they missed out on the postseason the previous season. This year, though, their spot seemed assured. They now lead 10th-place Atlanta United by a commanding 12-point margin.
However, Beckham might try to enter the transfer market once more, since the MLS’s second transfer window opens on July 18 and runs until August 14.
Numerous well-known players are expected to enter the market and become available, possibly even as free agents. Messi and company will be very familiar with a few people and would have no problem teaming up to rule MLS. Five potential signings for Inter Miami this summer are examined by The Daily Express Sport.
Although Messi and Angel Di Maria played for different teams in Spanish club football—Barca and Real Madrid, respectively—they are two of the most famous Argentines in the world after teaming together to win the Copa America, Finalissima, and the 2022 World Cup. In all three finals, Di Maria scored. The winger’s contract is scheduled to end this summer, but he is presently playing for his favorites Benfica in Portugal.
ESPN Argentina reports that Inter Miami and Angel Di Maria have already begun negotiations on a summer transfer.
Similar to Messi, Neymar left PSG to pursue the wealth that Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia had to offer. The 32-year-old Brazilian superstar’s stay in Saudi Arabia hasn’t gone as expected, though, as he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Neymar might be drawn to making another fresh start and getting back together with Messi and company in Miami and the MLS.
Nacho Fernandez, who faced Messi, Suarez, Alba, and Busquets at least twice a season for numerous years, is leaving Real Madrid after 23 years. Furthermore, Marca claims that Fernandez is focused on moving to the Major League Soccer (MLS), and the defender may find Inter Miami to be an alluring offer.
Inter Miami may be able to increase their chances of winning the MLS Cup with a defensive acquisition. There have also been suggestions that Nacho could settle down with LAFC.

The legendary midfielder, who is over 40 years old, played football with Messi for many years at Barcelona. After leaving Vissel Kobe, Iniesta joined Emirates Club FC of the UAE Pro League last summer; however, his contract with the team expires this summer.
An earlier part of this year saw rumors that Iniesta would be joining Inter Miami.
