Marcos Rojo, who is wanted with Messi at Inter Miami – What prevented the transfer

The last successful transfer of “Inter” from Miami, the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, increased the number of ex-Barcelona players to four. Messi also plays alongside Busquets and Jordi Alba in MLS.

However, the Argentine also wanted a player from his native country to join the team, but was turned down, writes Mundo Deportivo.

Lionel Messi has offered 33-year-old former player Marcos Rojo to join Inter Miami, but the former Manchester United man has rejected the offer.

Rojo is currently at Boca Juniors and wants to see out his contract, which expires in June 2024.

After that date, the transfer will again come into view, but until then, the American club must look for other solutions for protection.

The formation sponsored by David Beckham has plenty of time, the first match of the new season will not take place until February 22 against Real Salt Lake.
