Joining forces with Messi? Miami plans to sign Argentine international Lo Celso for 5 million euros, but the player is hesitant.

Since Busquets has decided to retire, Inter Miami is looking to recruit a midfield "distributor," and their target is the Argentine national team player.

According to the latest report from Spanish media outlet Diario de Sevilla, MLS playoff champions Inter Miami are interested in signing 29-year-old Argentine international Lo Celso from La Liga’s Real Betis for 5 million euros this winter. Currently, the player is hesitant about the move, concerned that leaving one of Europe’s top five leagues could jeopardize his spot in Argentina’s World Cup squad next year.

Lo Celso joined Real Betis in the summer 2024 transfer window for 5 million euros from Tottenham Hotspur, with a market value of 15 million euros at the time, which remains unchanged today. At Betis, Lo Celso has played 99 matches, scoring 27 goals and providing 11 assists, showing his ability both to pass and shoot.

Now 29 years old, standing 1.77 meters tall, Lo Celso is a left-footed attacking midfielder under contract with Real Betis until 2028. He is an important rotational player for the team. This season, he has appeared in 20 matches across all competitions, starting 13 times, totaling 1203 minutes on the pitch, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists.

Fans joke about Lo Celso’s concerns, saying why worry? Joining Inter Miami would allow him to train with Messi in advance, which would surely help secure his place in the Argentine squad. What’s your opinion? Should Lo Celso stay at Real Betis or move to Inter Miami? Which option is better?
