Unexpected problem for Inter Miami: these European giants are following Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi shocked everyone in July 2023 when he announced his decision to leave Europe for the first time in his professional career to join Inter Miami and compete in Major League Soccer. This was an unexpected move, as there were several top teams interested in signing him that could offer big money and a more demanding sporting challenge.

But Leo clarified that his original intention was to return to Barcelona and that, as this was impossible due to the financial problems that the Catalan side has had for years, he prioritized the comfort of his family in a country where the demand for sporting success is not so great. His bad experience in France during his two years at Paris Saint-Germain was key to his decision.

He quickly adapted to Inter Miami and in just a few weeks became the team's star player, leading them to the Leagues Cup title and the US Open Cup final. In addition, he revolutionized soccer in America, causing fans to sell out every game he played, greatly increasing ratings and jersey sales.

However, The Herons may have reason to be worried, as some European giants may be after Lionel Messi: Bayern Munich. The German side surprised everyone by starting to follow the forward on Instagram, after he shared a story with a photo of Franz Beckenbauer along with the message "QEPD" (RIP, in Spanish), as a tribute to the German legend, who passed away this week.

He was a star

Franz Beckenbauer was one of the most outstanding players of the 20th century. He shone with Bayern Munich and the German national team, winning the Champions League three times, the 1974 World Cup and Euro 1972. In addition, he was twice voted the world's best player at the Ballon d'Or awards, in 1972 and 1976. And as a coach he was also very successful, leading Germany to the 1986 World Cup final and the title in 1990.
