Beckham expressed his astonishment at the presence of Lionel Messi in Inter Miami, with more star players potentially joining the team.
Messi, who has scored 11 goals in his initial 14 appearances for Miami, is now part of the squad alongside former Barcelona colleagues Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
Inter Miami is reportedly eyeing Ivan Rakitic after his contract with Sevilla concludes in June, and targets also include Barcelona's Sergi Roberto and Messi's close friend, Luis Suarez.
"It's still hard to believe when someone turns around to me and says, 'Inter Miami has Lionel Messi in their team,'" Beckham stated in an interview with AFP.
As an owner, Beckham takes pride in having a player of Messi's caliber in the team, describing it as a significant achievement. Beckham views the addition of Messi to American soccer, not just Miami, as a gift to America and MLS. He believes that having a player of Messi's stature can revolutionize the game and serve as inspiration for the next generation of soccer players.
