[Saba Sports News] According to reports from US media
sources, Major League Soccer (MLS) is making efforts to persuade Argentine
superstar Lionel Messi, who currently plays for Inter Miami, to participate in
the 2026 World Cup. Despite Messi previously stating that he would not
participate, MLS is determined to continue their persuasion. The 2026 World Cup
will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and as the
domestic league in the United States, MLS naturally wants a star of Messi’s calibre
to enhance the league’s popularity. Messi’s influence on the sport of football
is undeniable, and his appeal extends beyond the boundaries of the game,
generating interest and excitement among fans.
