The MLS club secured the marquee signing of Messi during the summer transfer window and he guided the Beckham-owned team to Leagues Cup glory just weeks after joining.

With the season now over for Inter Miami, following their failure to qualify for the MLS play-offs, focus has already shifted to 2024, and Beckham is eyeing up three more high-profile additions.

Busquets and Alba both followed Messi to Miami during the summer, and Spanish outlet Fichajes have now reported that Beckham wants to bring Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic and Sergi Roberto to the club too.

All three players featured in the iconic Luis Enrique-led Barcelona team that won the 2014/15 Champions League, and Beckham is hoping for a major reunion as he aims to deliver MLS glory to Inter Miami.

Suarez to Inter Miami?

Of the three players mentioned, Suarez seems the most likely to join Inter Miami, with the Uruguay forward reportedly desperate to reunite with Messi in America.

His Gremio manager Renato Gaucho recently admitted to the media, via GOAL: “It will take a miracle [for Suarez to stay]. He already has plans for 2024. He made that clear a few months ago and I’m not expecting a miracle.

“It’s his decision. I’d like him to stay, but we have to be honest with our fans. If he ends up staying, it’ll be a miracle, and that miracle comes down to him.”

Suarez has made 49 appearances for Gremio in all competitions during the 2023 season, scoring 23 goals and providing 16 assists. However, he looks set to join Messi, Busquets and Alba at Inter Miami next year.
