Former USMNT forward Herculez Gomez has come out to say that Inter Miami is trying to make Lionel Messi happy by signing Rodrigo De Paul. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it is obvious that Messi has been frustrated with the club and his teammates in recent times, so bringing in a familiar face from Argentina will help to ease his worries.
Gomez added that the aim is to keep Lionel in Major League Soccer, and it is a plan that can work.
His words, “But it’s not really Inter Miami or what it means for Inter Miami, but much more, what it means to Major League Soccer.
What you’re doing here is you’re trying to keep Messi happy, you’re trying to show Messi that there is change. You’re trying to enact what could possibly come. We’ve all seen Messi frustrated with Inter Miami, with his teammates…but you needed to change. You need to show Messi you were serious going forward. MLS has a lot of things to change.
But this is more about ensuring Messi stays in Major League Soccer. This is more about ensuring Messi stays for the opening of that brand new stadium in Miami. He’s instrumental to the future of Major League Soccer and Inter Miami.
Yeah, he has part of that franchise. He’s got the rights going forward, he’s got some stock in it, the MLS season’s subscription as well. If he leaves, that goes down, his stock in Inter Miami goes down, he loses money, and I’m sure Messi doesn’t need money, but it’s vital for MLS. So this was a step in that direction to keep Messi happy.”
WOW.
