Man City legend Sergio Aguero hints at Lionel Messi transfer in David Beckham blow

27.11.2023 - 20:31 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero has backed Lionel Messi to make an emotional return to Barcelona in a blow to Inter Miami owner David Beckham.

Messi, 36, has lit up the world of football for nearly two decades. He left Camp Nou after Barcelona's financial difficulties but never really felt the love of the fans at Paris Saint Germain.

With Inter Miami, though, Messi is adored and has delivered 11 goals and five assists in 14 appearances. Beckham worked hard to bring in the superstar but now it seems like the former Manchester United star could be left with a gap to fill, if Aguero's comments are anything to go by.
