It was the first option for a long time. In fact, David Beckham himself mentioned it during a visit to Bogotá. It seemed that the ways of the Colombian and Inter Miami were destined to cross, but suddenly the interest disappeared. What happened?
Several things: the big problems of a team that does not start in MLS, the pandemic and the consequent economic crisis, the frequent injuries of the Colombian, all together and also three priorities on the “BeckBoy” agenda that is not in Turkey, but in the Premier League.
Inter Miami are no longer targeting Falcao, as the plan is to give him a 100% British touch, starting with the coach, who is said to be an old friend of the boss: Phil Neville. Fergusson’s successful Manchester United team-mates would already have full agreement to move the Englishman, who would not only reach the family, but two significant signatures: Everton’s Jonas Lossl and, carefully, a creative midfielder.
Neville has reportedly decided to complete a nearly three-year tenure at the helm of the England women’s team, and Beckham is delighted to learn that he is interested in replacing Diego Alonso, the recently sacked manager.
Once the new coach is assured, the next thing is to bet on a goalkeeper, who would be Lossl, who is tired of seeing Olsen position himself as the second goalkeeper for Ancelotti at Everton, behind Pickford. According to the Miami Herald, the player needs competition to aim for a euro with the Danish team and is eager to sign as soon as possible.
And here comes a surprise, which was a priority for Beckham, but which has disappeared in recent hours. The British wanted Mesut Ozil, but the German preferred to go to Fenerbahce after ending his contract at Arsenal, where he came out as bad as possible.
Ozil had previously been linked to DC United and LA Galaxy and it was said that the United States was a very attractive trading platform for him, but the offer did not materialize and the player preferred to return to his country of descent, where he will be received as a real idol. .
The fall of that operation opens a door, difficult, but ultimately a door, for Falcao, although it must be acknowledged that Inter Miami would prefer a scorer at a better time, even a name like Sergio Agüero, rather than Samarium.
What is certain is that the priority, before a scorer, is a player, which is really necessary for a Higuain who would be a finisher. According to The Sun, which had Ozil but will no longer be there, this could be a typical lineup for the MLS team, with reinforcements included:

Place for Falcao? It doesn’t look like that. He is not only an older player (almost 35 years old), but he suffered a series of injuries for a year and a half that marginalized him in Galatasaray and turned him into an expensive luxury, of which , according to the Turkish press, there is an urgency to break away.
He plays against his high salary (almost 5 million euros per season) and, if that wasn’t enough, a very bad memory during his time in the Premier League, at Chelsea and Manchester Untied, teams that he also came dragging. physical problems and being considered one of the great disappointments of recent years. If Beckham is looking for his country to find solutions to his weak sports start in MLS, without a doubt the precedent does not help the Colombian at all.
Falcao was discussed a little less than a year ago in Miami and even photos with his name were circulated on the Inter Miami shirt. But if the versions are true, it no longer seems to be a destination. Nor has Portland, where he has been ruled out in recent hours. Where will “El Tigre” go hunting? The options, in the middle of the pandemic, do not seem to be as many as he and Galatasaray would like.
