However, the majority of fans think it’s not ideal for the Argentinian skipper to join Inter Miami.
Messi will give up 1 billion just so the kids can be close to Disney World. Hell for that kind of money I would build them a private theme park in the backyard

It seems Beckham is desperate to lure in Messi to live his American dream. While the Herons Inter may have sent their best offer, they might not be able to compete with the Saudi Arabian side’s billion-dollar offer.
A billion-dollar offer on the table
The offer from Beckham definitely gives Messi an array of choices. However, Miami’s offer won’t be as solid as Al Hilal’s offer. The Saudi Arabian side has offered the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner a contract worth $1.2 billion for two seasons. Although the offer seems intriguing, a return to Barcelona is also on the cards.

The former Catalonian man left Camp Nou in 2021. However, the La Liga side is currently struggling with its financial books, which leaves Al Hilal and Inter Miami as front-runners. A move to the Gulf state will allow him to reunite with his long-term rival, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar even had some words of wisdom to guide his former archrival.
