Lionel Messi remains a significant figure both in Argentina and at Inter Miami. His arrival in MLS has brought great joy to fans in this part of the world who have been able to enjoy Messi's footballing quality displayed in every game.

Undoubtedly, The Herons signed probably the most important player of recent times alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Since Messi's arrival nearly two months ago, David Beckham's team has transformed from a team that wasn't competitive in MLS to becoming the first-ever Leagues Cup champion. They also have a pending US Open Cup final against Houston Dynamo on Wednesday, September 27.

Furthermore, Gerardo Martino's team has remained undefeated since Messi's debut against Cruz Azul. However, they are still fighting for a wildcard spot to make it to the playoffs.

In recent years, Major League Soccer has become popular among aging soccer stars who opt to spend their final years of their careers in a country where they can enjoy a good quality of life and spend more time with their families. Reports from Europe suggest that a former teammate of Messi might be close to making a move to MLS.

Who is it?

According to SPORT, Antoine Griezmann could leave Atlético Madrid at the end of the season and join Inter Miami. The Spanish newspaper reports that the Frenchman is interested in trying his luck in the United States, and at 32 years old, he would be closing one chapter of his career to start another.
