In the exclusive interview with La Sexta, the little magician admitted that the thought of playing in the North American franchise had crossed his mind but he was not sure if he was ready for the move. He said in the interview,

"“I always said that I have the impression that I would like to enjoy the experience of living in the United States, of living in that league and that life, but if it happens or not I don’t know,” Source Goal"

Given the fact that he already owns a seven million dollars apartment in Miami, many started linking him with David Beckham’s club Inter Miami. However, ESPN reckons that the legend could end up at New York City FC instead. Since the City football group owns both the English side and the American side, pundits suggest that Messi could reunite with Guardiola at Manchester and then move on to the American sister club.
