Lionel Messi is said to want Inter Miami to sign another player from his time at Barcelona.
After the 22/23 season, it was official that Messi would be leaving Paris Saint-Germain for Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer.
Major League Soccer (MLS) and football in general have become a lot more famous in the United States since the Argentine legend moved there.
Messi, a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, was joined by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, both of whom used to play for Barcelona.Now, it has been said that Messi wants another old friend to move to Miami with him.
Mundo Deportivo, a Spanish news outlet, says that Sergi Roberto, the captain of Barcelona, is thinking about moving to the Major League Soccer when his present contract ends at the end of the 23/24 season.
According to the story, Roberto has talked to Messi, Busquets, and Albia about life in the MLS. All three players have said good things about their experiences so far.
Apart from the Inter Miami trio, Roberto is thought to have also reached out to the likes of Oriol Rosell, Illie Sanchez, and Andreu Fontas. The 31-year-old has said before that he loves New York, and he and his wife, Coral Simanovich, often go there.
Even though Xavi, the manager of Barcelona, made Roberto captain after Busquets left, he hasn’t had many chances to play.
The Spaniard has only started two games and has only played 224 minutes in the club’s first eleven games.
Since his first game for the Catalan club in 2010, Roberto has played in 355 games.
