It has proved an enormous addition for the Herons, as their fanbase soared exponentially. After landing one of the greatest players, it seems Beckham would love some more Argentine talent. Inter Miami has set its sights on a plethora of Messi’s compatriots.

David Beckham is on an ambitious Argentine recruitment drive

Messi was in talks with FC Barcelona over a potential return. There was also a billion-dollar offer from Saudi Arabia for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. But all of a sudden, Inter Miami popped up and landed the World Cup winner. Superficially it seemed like a last-ditch effort from Beckham’s club, but as co-owner Jorge Mas revealed, Messi’s signing was the fruit of three years of efforts. 

After landing the former PSG superstar, Beckham got another Argentine on board. Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino replaced Phil Neville in the dugout. The recent reports suggest this Argentine revolution in Miami will continue. It seems Inter Miami has landed another Argentine. The deal is in place to sign Facundo Farias from Colon de Santa Fe.
