Since MLS approved Beckham’s expansion squad in 2019, the former Man United and Real Madrid midfielder has helped Inter Miami become a globally recognized brand.
In fact, after completing the signing of Lionel Messi in 2023, The Herons are now the second most valuable club in the US top flight behind Los Angeles FC with a value of over $1 billion, according to Forbes.
Beckham has continued to add a host of high-profile talents to the Inter Miami squad in recent times, with Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba moving to the Fort Lauderdale-based side.
So who else will they convince to sign? Angel Di Maria has been linked with a move to Miami for some time, along with Luka Modric and Sergi Roberto.
But would five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo be tempted to join Inter Miami? Former MLS and Sweden star Anders Limpar believes Beckham should go all out to sign the Portuguese forward.
“It’s not the biggest tournament in the world, but it’s the biggest show. I played there in 1999 and I like to consider myself a pioneer,” Limpar told SveaCasino.se. “In my time, they had to tell the fans about the rules through loudspeakers and we took penalties from the halfway line.”
“Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been there, Lionel Messi is there now and can you imagine if Cristiano Ronaldo came to that league? Why not? It would be the most amazing thing and imagine them playing together, it would be incredible. I think only one person could do that and that would be David Beckham.
Limpar added: “If you ask me about the biggest deal in history, it would be Ronaldo leaving Saudi Arabia and making MLS bigger than ever.”
