Mas added:

Despite missing a few games due to fitness issues, Messi has maintained his impressive form for the Herons. The Argentina international recorded 15 goals and six assists in 20 appearances for the club across competitions so far.

In his aforementioned interview with ESPN, Jorge Mas also expressed his desire to see Inter Miami feature in the Copa Libertadores. Mas explained that he would like Lionel Messi to play in the tournament for the first time with the Herons.

Lionel Messi will next gear up to represent the Herons in the FIFA Club World Cup, set to begin on June 14. The Herons will face Al Ahly in the opening match of the tournament at the Hard Rock Stadium.
