Could Lionel Messi be joined by his Argentina teammate Angel Di Maria at Inter Miami? The Florida-based club is reportedly eyeing both stars, with Di Maria potentially making a move as a free agent. The 37-year-old forward, fresh off winning the 2022 World Cup with Messi, is said to have already scoped out homes in Miami. However, he’s leaning towards staying at Benfica for another year before making the jump to MLS.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami’s other target is Kevin De Bruyne, whose contract with Manchester City expires this summer. Though the Belgian’s £400,000-a-week salary may seem out of reach for most clubs, Miami could make it work—though De Bruyne would need to take a significant pay cut due to the team already having three Designated Player slots filled. If the De Bruyne deal doesn’t happen, a Di Maria signing could be the perfect backup for the Herons.
Miami’s pursuit of these seasoned talents shows they’re serious about adding even more star power to their already impressive roster, which includes Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
