The demand for Inter Miami has just gone overboard. Suddenly, after their failure on the China tour, the club was expecting quiet pre-season ties with two or three other teams. But David Beckham’s band of brothers will march on to play more friendlies. With Lionel Messi at the club, the demand to host him is on everyone’s agenda. And this time, Boca Juniors have decided to get into the act.
There’s no doubt when Lionel Messi enters the pitch, the crowd stands still with his magnificence. Despite playing friendlies, the player gathers houseful crowds. Hence, the pre-season friendlies are a tremendous opportunity for the associations to generate revenue. But will the Miami team be able to accommodate a new fixture amidst the Argentinean plans?

According to Fregossi, the arrangements are in place, but nothing is confirmed yet. But he also revealed that if the match is ready to get the green signal, they could hold it at the end of January.

Fregossi also revealed that they could reschedule the debut game of this Primera League season for another time if the Lionel Messi game occurs, as the days may collide. The Primera Division starts on January 28th, close to Inter Miami’s game against the Saudi Giants, Al Hilal. Hence, the accommodation of such a fixture could be difficult.
