Messi Urged To Be Like Beckham And Make MLS Move

Messi Urged To Be Like Beckham And Make MLS Move

Lionel Messi

Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi has been urged to make a move to Major League Soccer as he continues to be linked with a host of clubs.

The Argentine's contract with PSG expires at the end of the season and there has been no indication if he will sign an extension or leave on a free transfer.

Messi has been linked with a return to FC Barcelona and Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal while MLS side Inter Miami have already confirmed their intentions to sign the attacker.

Former LA Galaxy star Carlos Ruiz feels the 35-year-old star would be better suited taking his family to Miami, where he could make a similar impact to David Beckham.

"I saw first hand the impact of Beckham when he came. After that of Andrea Pirlo, that of David Villa. Many famous players have passed through here and have made MLS marketing grow," Ruiz told told EFE.

"Bringing in a player like Messi is ambitious, also because of what it gives him as an image. I don't see Messi bouncing around in different leagues around the world. 

"I think the best thing for him is to bring his family to Miami, live in the United States and be part of the history of this league."
