4 former Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets “always” tried to get David Beckham to join Inter Miami training sessions. Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham revealed this. David Beckham shared that Lionel Messi and his teammates at Inter Miami “always” tried to convince him to join training sessions.

David Beckham is a co-owner of Inter Miami and serves as president of the club, with the Manchester United icon helping lure Messi to MLS after he leaves Paris Saint-Germain in 2023. Several of Messi’s former Barcelona teammates have joined the club, with Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets playing for Inter Miami.

And David Beckham has now revealed that Messi, Suarez, Alba and Busquets constantly try to get him to train with them. In an interview with Men’s Health, Beckham revealed Messi’s special request, saying: “You know, they always attack me, Leo, Luis, Jordi, Sergio. They turn around and say, ‘Come on, come on, join in!’

The funny thing is, the other day I was playing football for Adidas, shooting some commercials for my new Predator boots. I was taking some free kicks, some long passes and I was so excited.

I probably shouldn’t say this, but I grew up in an era where I didn’t really warm up or stretch much, so it wasn’t unusual to just pick up a few balls on the halfway line and put them over the goal or the crossbar.

I shot it five, six, seven, and on the eighth time, I “pinged it,” and I was like, “Oh my god, my quad!” The camera guy asked if I could do a couple more. I was like, “No, I think we got it!”

Lionel Messi has recently spoken out about his long-term future with Inter Miami, with his contract with Inter Miami set to expire at the end of the year. The 37-year-old Argentine superstar has previously stated that he plans to finish his career in Miami, but Messi has now insisted that he is not focused on his future ahead of the new MLS season.

“I feel very good, enjoying where I am, what I am doing, my daily life, the training sessions, the matches, being with friends and family,” Lionel Messi shared in an interview with Apple TV, “I love coming to Argentina.

I enjoy things much more than when I was younger; I enjoy details that perhaps weren’t important before. I’ve never been one to think about the future, I’ve always lived day by day. I’m in no rush to do anything.
