Inter Miami are reportedly confident of signing Lionel Messi and hope the PSG star will agree a deal with David Beckham's MLS franchise in the 'coming months'.

Messi is under contract at PSG until next summer but speculation has continued to rage over his future should he not sign a new deal with the French giants.

The 35-year-old Argentine forward has been linked with a fairytale return to Barcelona, who he left to join PSG last August.

But according to The Athletic, secret talks have been ongoing for several months between his representatives and those of Inter Miami, who appear to be leading the chase for his highly-coveted signature.

Such is the advanced nature of the discussions that Inter Miami are now expecting Messi, one of the greatest players of all time, to sign for the club in the near future, The Athletic reports.
