The pink team of the North American competition is taking on more and more Barcelona nuances. After the signing of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, there is now the possibility of hiring Luis Suárez and Andrés Iniesta.
Inter Miami for the 2023-24 season continues to take shape. David Beckham’s side are about to make their Leagues Cup debut, a tournament that brings together teams from Major League Soccer and Liga MX.
And on the eve of this match, the workforce of Garzas is slowly taking on a Barça hue. The first player with a past in Barcelona who became the main novelty of the team is Lionel Messi .
His successful move to the Spanish club is far from going unnoticed. After having some economic disputes, the Argentinian ended up at Paris Saint-Germain where he ended up being criticized by the fans. Since before the end of the French competition, there have been rumors that his future after the World Cup in Qatar could continue in the United States.
Finally, the country that will host the next Copa América and one of the organizers of the 2026 World Cup has stuck with the player.
Of course, he’s not the only one with a past in Catalonia. After Messi came another acquaintance from the Spanish league. Sergio Busquets was announced as an Inter player on June 23 with a video highlighting a few phrases about his style and play .
Busi, as has been highlighted on the occasion, played 15 seasons at Barcelona and had recently announced his departure from Barcelona without having a specific destination. For the same reason, there were talks of offers from Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but in the end Lionel Messi’s presence helped him make the decision to move to MLS after a long negotiation.
More recent is the case of Jordi Alba which was officially announced this Thursday after coach Gerardo Martino and club owner Jorge Mas confirmed it a few days ago.
In this way, Alba joins the Florida team with a contract until the end of 2024 with the possibility of extending it for another year. .
And to bolster the attack, Inter thought they had one of their main partners in Messi’s final weeks in Spain. Uruguayan Luis Suárez, of course, the task is not easy, since the player is still linked to Gremio de Porto Alegre with whom he has played 31 games since his arrival in current 2023, registering 16 goals and 10 assists. . At the moment, he is pressing to be able to leave the club.
And now the possibility of adding another history with the culé shirt arises. Andrés Iniesta, 30, is another of the names that management manages to strengthen the team . After leaving Barcelona, the midfielder left for Japanese Vissel Kobe in 2018 and this season he rejected a renewal offer.
Because he still wants to stay in football, he asked the Japanese team for permission to negotiate deals and Inter were one of the first to hear that call. According to Offsider, there is a principle of agreement between the parties.
