Perhaps Messi’s move proved more challenging than we had anticipated. Apparently, this was recently revealed by Beckham’s club’s billionaire co-owner, Jorge Mas. Subsequently, he recently sat down for a podcast interview on “Offside With Taylor Twellman.” There, he revealed having had some “compelling discussions” with Messi before he joined Miami.

While looking to sign Messi, he revealed, “Listen, we’re competing for the best player in the world with the powerhouses of global soccer. And with endless money that we cannot compete with. So I had to try to find; ‘What makes Lionel Messi tip? What can we offer that someone else can’t?’” Mas believes that the World Cup winner has the opportunity to change the sport in America, something, he couldn’t have done by either staying at PSG, moving back to Barcelona, or flying to Saudi Arabia.

He said this was the most compelling reason for him to be where he is now. “I always talk to him about the legacy. I said, ‘Lionel, you have an opportunity,’ much like Michael Jordon. Much like figures of the time when Mohammed Ali, a name you could recognize in every corner of the world. David Beckham and others, that in your post-career, you cannot only maintain relevancy but make a difference in things that matter to you. And I think that was super compelling,” He concluded.
