Higuaín encourages Messi to go to MLS

Messi continues to defoliate the daisy of his future. The Argentine star says he is not clear about where he will play next season. And while Joan Laporta tries to convince him to stay at Barcelona, his compatriot and teammate Gonzalo Higuaín encourages him to jump ‘the puddle’ and go to MLS. The Barcelona forward already recognized months ago that the possibility of going to the American league is one of the options he is considering.

The Inter Miami forward took advantage of an interview with ESPN Argentina to encourage Messi to take the step of going to play in the United States. And for this, Pipita gave other world stars who also took that step as an example: “Pirlo came here (to MLS) when he was world champion, so did Henry, Villa and Matuidi”, said Higuaín, who further added: “I don't see any reason why Lionel can't come here. If it makes you happy, we would welcome you with open arms. At some point, he will decide where he wants to play and what is best for him on a personal and sporting level ”.

However, Higuaín also acknowledged that he continues to see Messi competing in the European elite for some time more: “In my opinion, he has the caliber to continue competing for the Champions League.”
