Breaking News: Messi Publicly Invites Ronaldo to Join Inter Miami—CR7’s Response Leaves Fans Stunned
In a surprise move, Lionel Messi posted a cryptic message on social media just minutes ago that has shaken the football world. The message, featuring a sunset emoji, a football, and the phrase “Let’s make history… again. Are you ready to fight together, @Cristiano?”, hinted at a bold invitation to his longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo to join him at Inter Miami.
Accompanying the post was an image of Messi’s Inter Miami jersey hanging next to a blank one labeled “CR7”—a strong suggestion that Messi wants Ronaldo to team up with him for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
From Rivals to Teammates?
Sources close to the club say Messi has been actively lobbying Inter Miami to bring Ronaldo onboard. The club’s management, including co-owner David Beckham, reportedly supports the idea and has prepared a preliminary offer for the Portuguese superstar.
If it happens, this would mark the first time the two football legends—who have dominated the sport for nearly two decades—would play together on the same team.
Why Now?
Messi is reportedly eager to win the FIFA Club World Cup with Inter Miami and sees Ronaldo as the key to boosting the team’s chances. Football analyst Jamie Carragher commented, “It’s like something out of a movie—two giants combining for one last mission.”
Ronaldo Responds
In a twist no one saw coming, Ronaldo replied to Messi’s message within ten minutes. His Instagram story read: “Some legends are meant to clash. Others are meant to unite. I hear you, Leo,” alongside an image of him tying his boots with an Inter Miami logo faintly in the background.
Though not a confirmation, the tone strongly suggests Ronaldo is open to the idea.
Barriers Ahead
Ronaldo is currently under contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and his high salary could complicate the transfer. Still, financial analysts say the MLS’s Designated Player Rule and the immense marketing potential could make the move feasible.
Worldwide Buzz
The football community exploded with speculation, memes, and excitement. Even FIFA tweeted, “Could it happen? Messi and Ronaldo, side by side. Football’s greatest chapter yet?”
What’s Next?
Inter Miami is reportedly preparing a formal offer during the summer transfer window. If successful, Ronaldo could join in time for the league playoffs and Club World Cup preparations.
One thing’s certain: if this partnership comes to life, it would mark one of the most unforgettable moments in football history.
