Former Chelsea strike urges Messi to join him in the MLS

Former Chelsea striker Gonzola Higuain in a recent statement, has urged his fellow countryman and Paris Saint Germain star Lionel Messi to join him in the Major League Soccer, MLS.

Higuain played alongside the seven-time Ballon d’ Or winner in the Argentine national team.

According to the former Chelsea player, the MLS is an important league with many important players now joining the tournament.

“It is a very important league and it is growing a lot,” Higuain told Stats Perform, via AS.

“Important players are coming and I think that in the future, it will continue to grow much more.

“I hope [Messi goes to MLS] because it would be a benefit for MLS and for the country, and if he so wishes, he would have fun and be happy here.”

Higuain joined Inter Miami from the Italian side Juventus in 2020.

On the 23rd of January 2019, Chelsea signed Higuaín on a loan deal for the remainder of the 2018–19 season as he reunited with former manager Maurizio Sarri, whom he played under at Napoli during the 2015–16 season at Stamford Bridge.
