David Beckham's Inter Miami franchise have not held talks with Lionel Messi, sources have told Goal, with recent reports claiming that the former England international had sent a delegation to London to open negotiations for the Barcelona star's signature.
Reports in the United Kingdom claimed on Saturday that Beckham had sent sporting director Paul McDonough to the English capital for secret talks with the Argentine's father and advisor, Jorge Messi, with a view to signing up the 32-year-old.
It had been said that Beckham, whose Inter Miami franchise enter Major League Soccer next season, was also open to the option of 'sharing' Messi, similar to the agreement Beckham himself had with LA Galaxy during his loan spells with AC Milan.
