Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players in the history of football. The Argentinian forward has won everything there is to win with FC Barcelona and is now attempting to do that with his new club, Paris Saint Germain. However, at the age of 35, Messi doesn’t have a lot of time left at the top of the sport.

At this point in his career, he’ll slowly turn to clubs where he can sit back and doesn’t have to compete at the highest level. The MLS is one such place, and the Argentinian league is another. Although no one can count him out yet, as he could always get his form back and take PSG to the top.

“Yes, with some caveats. You can’t compare Leo Messi with any other player; he’s different. Having said that, what we’re looking for is to be the reference point for football in the U.S., and to do that, the important thing is the players and the show that you can put on,” Asensi said.

Messi’s potential impact in the MLS

He didn’t stop there and added that Miami needs to be the focal point of the football revolution in the USA. If Inter Miami manages to sign Messi, the game of soccer would certainly be the biggest beneficiary.
