With this move, the Argentine international will become the highest paid player in the history of the American championship. Miami, which is co-owned by David Beckham, is also looking at signing two of Messi’s close friends and former team-mates to sweeten the deal. These players are namely Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas, who is in Italy’s Serie B with Como.
Beckham’s influence is also reported to have played an important role in the deal, as he has been in direct contact with PSG’s owners through his work as ambassador for Qatar.
