David Beckham (right) still wants to strengthen a quality midfielder to support Messi
Messi and his teammates at Inter Miami Club are on their way back to the US. They also played another friendly match with Newell’s Old Boys Club (Argentina) on February 15. This is the team Messi has been with since childhood before moving to Europe to join Barcelona FC’s La Masia Academy .
According to AS newspaper (Spain): “David Beckham is looking for an agreement to recruit midfielder Luka Modric, a disgraced player at Real Madrid . Modric has not played any matches recently. He has almost been put out of all plans by coach Ancelotti and is now only playing a reserve role. Modric himself is also very disappointed. Therefore, joining Inter Miami will be the best way out for the famous Croatian player. “.
“Mr. David Beckham’s moves before the new season show that Inter Miami has prepared a spot for Modric to participate. But it is likely that this famous player can only participate after EURO 2024. That is also the period when Inter Miami enters important cup tournaments such as the Leagues Cup and US Open Cup,” AS newspaper shared.

“Meanwhile, Inter Miami’s preparation before the 2024 season is considered to have many optimistic signs. Coach Tata Martino’s team experienced 3 losses, 2 draws (of which 1 loss was in a penalty shootout). and 1 win. These are not really good results on the field, but in terms of gameplay, organization, preparation and team testing, it has shown that Inter Miami Club has made many significant progresses. Furthermore, the opponents they met were all very strong such as Al Hilal, Al Nassr clubs in Saudi Arabia or Vissel Kobe, the champion of J League 1 in Japan,” AS newspaper expressed.
According to coach Tata Martino: “What I’m most satisfied with is Messi’s good recovery. He felt good and told me he was ready to play 30 minutes (against Vissel Kobe). Messi also felt very comfortable.” After the match, it showed that he has gradually recovered completely. This helps the entire Inter Miami team be ready before the season.”
