Lionel Messi could be set for another reunion with a past teammate as Inter Miami are reportedly looking to snap up Marcos Rojo.
Messi and Rojo Reunited in Miami?
The ex-Manchester United defender linked up with Boca Juniors in his native Argentina in February 2021 after six-and-a-half-years spent at Old Trafford.
Rojo featured in 122 games in all competitions for the Red Devils – winning the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League and Community Shield.
But he soon fell down the pecking order, leading to his departure, where he has since starred at La Bombonera.
Now captain of the Buenos Aires outfit, Rojo has helped Boca scoop the Primera Division as well as two domestic cup competitions.
However, with his contract to expire at the end of the 2025, it has been claimed he could be in line for a new adventure.
According to TNT Sports Argentina, the MLS club are weighing up a summer swoop to bring in the 35-year-old.
Miami are in need of defensive reinforcements having conceded the joint-most goals [27] from the top ten teams in the Eastern Conference table.
While they sit third in the table – five points behind leaders Philadelphia Union with a game in hand – the Herons haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eight MLS fixtures.
And with Club World Cup on the horizon, Miami are said to be eyeing up a move for the veteran defender.
Should he make the move to the Magic City, he would be reunited with ex-Argentina teammates Messi and Javier Mascherano.
Mascherano, now manager of Miami, played 53 times alongside Rojo for the 2022 World Cup winners from between 2011-2018.
The pair then played once together during Rojo's loan spell at Estudiantes in the 2019/20 campaign.
Meanwhile Rojo played 45 times alongside Messi for Argentina from between 2011-2019.
Rojo revealed last summer that Messi had been speaking to him about joining him in America, but he refused to do so out of loyalty towards Boca.
Should Rojo join Inter Miami, he would be the latest ex-teammate of Messi's to be part of the squad.
Currently on Inter's books are Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who all enjoyed great success with Messi at Barcelona.
