David Beckham confirms Lionel Messi's retirement plans and they will be far from Miami

O ne of the happiest people about Inter Miami's MLS Cup triumph is David Beckham. As one of the owners of the team, Becks has fulfilled another of his dreams: to be a champion of American soccer. He is so happy with the title that he inadvertently revealed Leo Messi's plans.

Excited by the 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps in the grand final, the former soccer player said that he can finally breathe after all the pressure he experienced and accumulated from the moment he decided to get involved in the project until he shaped it with the signing of world-class players.

I spent many sleepless nights. But you know what? I always believed in Miami and bringing the team here. I found the perfect partners and when I found them, I knew anything was possible. As the back of our shirts says: freedom to dream

Having players like Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Rodrigo De Paul is an effort that bears the desired fruit. Beckham knew from the start that if he wanted to succeed with Inter Miami, he had to have the best on the pitch and big names that would also have a commercial and marketing impact.

The icing on the cake, the jewel in the crown, is Leo Messi. What for many could have been an imaginative and utopian idea was a fact made reality by Beckham's management, who always believed that MLS is a fertile ground for constant growth with the potential to be one of the most important tournaments on the continent.

It is with Messi that Becks surrenders because the Argentine took it upon himself to make sense of his experience to guide the team on and off the field to the championship. In Leo, he found the perfect duality: a footballer from another planet with commercial magnetism and a captain who responsibly assumed the leadership to move the project forward.

Beckham would love to have him at Inter Miami when he retires, but Messi has a different plan, one that the former Manchester United player took it upon himself to reveal.

Beckham reveals the truth about Lionel Messi's future

Happiness betrayed him. Interviewed by Apple TV, David Beckham shared what the future holds for the Argentine when he decides to say goodbye to the soccer field. If he let it slip, it was because he believed there was a chance of fulfilling his desire to have him as a neighbor in Miami. However, this will not be the case.

I would like Messi to live in Miami after he retires. But Leo told me that he only thinks about living near the Camp Nou. There is no player who loves Barcelona as much as he does. You can see the Barca logo on his leg and even on his water bottle
