Angel Di Maria is Lionel Messi‘s partner in crime. After playing a crucial role in the Argentine skipper’s international success, fans dreamt about the possibility of a similar partnership in the MLS.

On Thursday, multiple Argentinian outlets reported that Inter Miami had contacted Di María’s camp to gauge his interest in joining Messi in South Florida. It seems, in theory, to be a natural landing spot, allowing him to join the cast of “Messi and Friends” – Lionel Messi (with whom Di María is close), Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez.

Inter Miami CF head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino shut down the possibility of signing players like Benfica forward Ángel Di María and Boca Juniors goalkeeper Sergio Romero due to Major League Soccer's strict roster rules.
