TOP STORY – MESSI, RONALDO WANTED AT INTER MIAMI
Barcelona captain Messi , 32, and Juventus talisman Ronaldo , 35, will end their careers on the same side if Inter Miami FC co-owner Beckham gets his wish, according to the Mirror.
The newspaper claims the new MLS outfit are "already thinking big" and could look to lure football's two biggest superstars to the United States.
LA Galaxy has also been linked with a move for Messi but Minnesota United head coach Adrian Heath believes Beckham's pulling power has the potential to create a dream attacking duo.
“For Ronaldo and Messi, the two obvious destinations if they came to the MLS would be Los Angeles and Miami," Heath told the Mirror.
"And, with his links to both players and the plan Beckham and his backers have in place, I can really only see them going to Miami."
