Messi and His Father Accused of Manipulating Power at Inter Miami – Former MLS Star Presents Three Pieces of Evidence
In a shocking twist surrounding Inter Miami, Lionel Messi and his father, Jorge Messi, have been accused of manipulating power within the club. The allegations surfaced after a former Major League Soccer (MLS) star stepped forward, claiming that the Argentine legend and his father were exerting influence far beyond what should be acceptable for a player, regardless of status.
According to the retired MLS player, three key pieces of evidence support the accusation. First, he claimed that Messi had a direct say in player recruitment, reportedly approving or rejecting potential signings based on personal preference rather than tactical needs. Second, he alleged that Messi’s circle influenced coaching decisions, with whispers that even starting line-ups and substitutions were being swayed. Finally, he pointed to commercial deals and marketing campaigns in which Messi’s family allegedly held a dominant role, creating conflicts of interest within the club’s management structure.
The accusations immediately set social media ablaze, with fans and pundits divided. While critics argue that Messi’s influence undermines the professionalism of the league, others defend him, saying his impact on MLS is unprecedented and naturally gives him greater leverage.
Jorge Messi, the father and agent of the World Cup-winning star, wasted no time in responding. In a sharp statement, he dismissed the claims as “baseless attacks fueled by envy.” He emphasized that Lionel Messi only focuses on playing football and has no hidden agenda to control the club. “Lionel has always respected every institution he has played for. These lies are attempts to tarnish his legacy in America,” Jorge Messi declared.
The situation has sparked debate across the United States and beyond. Some insiders argue that star players in global football often hold a degree of influence in club decisions, citing examples in Europe where elite players have shaped recruitment policies. However, others stress that the MLS model is built differently, designed to avoid excessive power being concentrated in a single individual’s hands.
As the controversy deepens, Inter Miami officials have not released an official statement, leaving room for speculation. For now, the spotlight remains firmly on Messi and his father, with the football world waiting to see whether these allegations will gain further traction or fade away as another headline in the Argentine icon’s glittering but often scrutinized career.
