Last month, Lionel Messi made his soccer debut in America. He has only played two games and his impact has already been phenomenal. The Inter Miami star is now gearing up for his MLS debut against Charolette FC, later in August. Messi’s ex-teammate, Gerard Pique recently seemed quite positive about the prospect of signing the Argentine World Cup winner for his unique soccer competition.
The inaugural season of the Kings League was in January. As of last weekend, Pique managed to wrap up its second successful season. The former Barcelona man has managed to feature quite a few renowned soccer names and has big ideas for the competition.

Gerard Pique is quite hopeful of Messi playing in the Kings League one day
Messi and Kun Aguero share a very close bond. The FC Barcelona legend is the godfather to Aguero’s son. It all started during their youth days when they spent time together as Argentine nationals. The retired defender is looking to capitalize on the same connection. Kun Aguero is one of the Presidents of the Kings League.
In a recent exclusive interview, Pique revealed that he was aware of their deep bond. He said, “Why not? In the end, Kun has told me many times that why not try, I know he is a brother to Kun and he is very connected to him”. The Kings League co-owner seemed quite positive and seemed certain to strike a deal with Messi in the Kings League.

He concluded, “Now he has arrived in Miami, he is tearing it up there, as always, and I wish him the best. We will see in the future, why not?”, as compiled by Ole and translated by DeepL. Interestingly, reports indicate that Pique and Messi do not share the greatest bond now. The Argentine soccer legend felt extremely ‘betrayed’ after he got to know about Pique’s involvement in his FC Barcelona exit in 2021.
Currently, Messi has just kickstarted his soccer career in America. Deemed a dream before he joined, not many would have imagined that Messi would opt for the MLS over European soccer.

He has signed a $55 million deal for two-and-a-half seasons with the Miami-based club. Additionally, he will earn a commission from Apple (Season Pass) and Adidas. Before joining the MLS, the World Cup winner rejected a highly lucrative deal from Saudi Arabia. If Messi can join the MLS and Ronaldo can join the Saudi Pro League then imagining the Argentine in the Kings League doesn’t seem too far fetched.
