When Inter Miami signed Lionel Messi, little did they know that wasn’t enough for them. The Fort Lauderdale side had to build a special environment around the Argentinian superstar. And what better way than by signing the very names with whom he has spent significant time. Enter ex-FC Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, with a year later, Luis Suarez joining as well.
As if that weren’t enough, they even secured Messi’s Argentine teammate Rodrigo De Paul earlier this summer on loan from Atlético de Madrid. Now, however, it appears Miami wants to make things even cozier for La Pulga. The latest update suggests the 37-year-old could soon be welcoming yet another familiar presence — not just a friendly face, but someone from a corner of the footballing “Venn diagram” that Messi himself knows all too well.
At least according to the latest from renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who reported that Inter Miami is on the verge of completing a deal for 19-year-old prospect Mateo Silvetti from Newell’s Old Boys, with an agreement nearly finalized that will see the Argentine join Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, and company soon.
