David Beckham reportedly wants Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in 2020

Lionel Messi is reportedly a top target for David Beckham’s Inter Miami team, and the Englishman wants to bring in the Barcelona star for their debut season in 2020.

According to the Sunday Times, Miami want to make a signature signing and reckon they may just have a chance of luring Messi to Major League Soccer.

The Argentine will be 34 and into the last year of his current Barcelona contract which he signed last year by then. His buyout clause is set at €700 million.

Trying to land Messi is an incredibly ambitious (and expensive) plan, for Beckham and Miami who are due to enter MLS in 2020, although the club are still lacking a stadium to play in.
