David Beckham flew to Barcelona to convince Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez to join Inter Miami, his MLS team - report

David Beckham, one of the owners of MLS’s expansion team Inter Miami, flew to Barcelona reportedly to try to convince Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez to join him in the United States.

It is said the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star is a friend of the Uruguayan’s, and of course, Suárez is close with Messi. With both stars past 30, it’s not unthinkable that they would one day make a jump to MLS, like former Barcelona striker David Villa.

However, it seems such a move is in the far off future for now, if it will ever take place.
