Inter Miami and MLS are confident they've beaten Al Hilal and Barcelona to the signing of Leo Messi.

The Argentina captain is leaving PSG as his contract runs down and has three massive offers on the table.

The Athletic reports in Miami they are increasingly optimistic. It's claimed Saudi Arabia's proposal has been discarded and the Argentine would be debating between Inter Miami and waiting for what Barça have planned.

José Mas and David Beckham, the owners of the American club, are conducting the negotiations in person.

In addition to the salary that Inter Miami offers, both MLS and Apple are offering part of the revenue they have from new subscribers to the MLS broadcast package in partnership with Apple TV. Both organisations have a 10-year contract signed this spring for $2.5 billion and believe that Messi's arrival will boost audiences and subscribers.

Apple, in fact, has already announced a five-part documentary series on Messi's World Cup appearances.

Adidas, a firm that sponsors Messi and is one of the main sponsors of the MLS, has also been involved in negotiations. The Argentine would receive a part of the extra income that Adidas will gain for his participation in MLS.

In addition, he is offered the possibility of buying an MLS franchise when his playing period ends. A deal similar to what Beckham was offered when he was a Los Angeles Galaxy player.
