The 35-year-old is expected to sign with David Beckham’s MLS team in the “coming months,” according to the MLS side, who is confident in their ability to do so.

Messi has been connected with a fantastical return to Barcelona, whom he left to join PSG last August. Messi has a contract with PSG through June 2023, which has inevitably led to conjecture over his future.
However, it is believed that for some months, his agents and those of Inter Miami, who look to be dominating the race for his desired signature, have been holding private conversations.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is expected to sign with the MLS team soon because the negotiations are so far along.
