Inter Miami are growing confident of landing PSG superstar Lionel Messi next summer.

Off contract in June, Messi has put off talks about a new deal until after Argentina's World Cup campaign.

A return to Barca has been mooted, while PSG wish to extend Messi's stay in France a further two years.

However, the Athletic says there's a confidence at Inter Miami that Messi feels ready to leave Europe in 2023.

Messi already has an apartment in Miami and is a regular visitor to the city with his family. Contact between Inter Miami and Messi has been ongoing for some years.
