Lionel Messi will soon become the highest-paid player in the history of football in the US as Inter Miami are reportedly closing in on a move for the Argentine.
The MLS side believes the Argentina legend will make a switch from Paris-Saint Germain ahead of next season.
Messi, 35, is currently understood to be on a salary of around £1.2m-a-week and would take a pay cut at the Florida franchise, which is co-owned by David Beckham.
Mail Online reports that the club are already thought to be identifying players who will fit with the forward’s style of play with former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas under consideration.
Inter Miami are managed by Beckham’s former Manchester United team-mate Phil Neville, who has just signed a contract extension.
