MLS ready to offer Messi Beckham-style deal

Lionel Messi’s future is still in question, reports El Mundo Deportivo newspaper. His only offer on the table in Europe is PSG attempt to renew his contract, but the world cup winner is unsure if he wants to continue with the Paris side.

In the USA, however, they have developed a whole strategy to attract Messi before the World Cup in 2026, which will be hosted by the USA, Mexico and Canada.

MLS is known to have salary caps for players, and each team can only have three players over the salary cap.

Americans are flexible and think they are acting like David Beckham, MLS commissioner Don Garber admits. The Englishman played in the USA with a contract for 30 million dollars for 5 years, but at the expense of this he received the right to create his own team for only 25 million dollars. Thus appeared Inter Milan, whose value today is estimated at 600 million.

“The idea is for Messi to have that same opportunity,” says Jerome Meary, an agent with years of experience in the American market.
