With just seven months remaining on his current deal at Paris Saint-Germain, here is the latest regarding Lionel Messi's future.
Man Utd Will Only Sue Ronaldo 'On One Condition'
On Monday, David Beckham watched on as England thrashed Iran 6-2 in their opening match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The football icon is an ambassador for the host nation Qatar and while he is enjoying the festivities at the global showpiece, it seems that Inter Miami co-owner is looking to take advantage of his time in the Gulf by conducting club business as well.
According to El Chiringuito, the 1999 Ballon d'Or runner-up is also at the World Cup to try to convince Messi of a move to Major League Soccer, with the report suggesting that Beckham and the Argentine's representatives are in negotiations.
Late last month, it was reported that the Florida-based MLS franchise were in contention for the 35-year-old's signature, and now it appears that the Herons are keen on making inroads on a potential deal for Messi.
The American side will most likely find their stiffest competition in the form of his current club PSG. Sporting director Luis Campos has made it known that he wants the diminutive playmaker to stay at the Parc des Princes, but with the Rosario native not keen on making any commitment about his future until after the World Cup, it remains to be seen where his playing future lies.
