INTER MIAMI EYE ARGENTINE GEM VALENTÍN CARBONI — MESSI’S CALL COULD SEAL THE DEAL, BUT INTER MILAN’S ASKING PRICE STUNS EVERYONE

Inter Miami’s Argentinian revolution might be far from over. After securing Lionel Messi and building a strong South American core, the MLS club is now targeting Valentín Carboni, the rising star from Inter Milan, who could become the next big name to join the club. And it appears the driving force behind this potential move is none other than Messi himself.

Messi’s Personal Involvement
Sources close to both camps confirm that Lionel Messi has personally contacted Carboni, urging him to consider a move to Inter Miami. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder, currently one of the most exciting Argentine prospects in Europe, has reportedly been flattered and intrigued by Messi’s approach.
“Messi’s influence is massive,” a source stated. “When the greatest of all time calls you and says, ‘Come play with me,’ it’s hard to ignore.”
Carboni, who had a successful loan spell at Monza and returned to Inter Milan this summer, has been weighing his options — with Inter Miami offering not only a leading role but also the opportunity to learn under the guidance of Messi, Busquets, and Alba.
Inter Milan’s Shocking Price Tag
While the player is tempted, Inter Milan has made things complicated. The Italian giants have placed a valuation of €35–40 million on Carboni — a figure that has surprised both Inter Miami and football insiders.
“That’s a price usually reserved for established stars, not a teenager with just one full Serie A season,” commented an Italian football analyst.
Inter Milan’s stance is clear: they are not in a rush to sell, and they believe Carboni could become a cornerstone for their future — unless an irresistible offer comes in.
What’s Next?
Inter Miami is said to be working on a structured deal, possibly involving performance-based clauses or a loan with an option to buy. Talks are ongoing, but Messi’s involvement could be a key factor in tilting the balance.
As MLS continues to grow in prestige, the potential arrival of a top European prospect like Carboni would mark another step in the league’s evolution — and another statement of intent from David Beckham’s ambitious project in Miami.
