Organisers of the Riyadh Season Cup said on Tuesday that Messi&rsquo;s Inter Miami are expected to play in the three-team event.
Miami called the announcement &ldquo;inaccurate&rdquo; and said it had been determining its preseason schedule. But the prospect of Messi v Ronaldo was already being pushed in Saudi Arabia.

&ldquo;We look forward to welcoming everyone from Inter Miami in February for the Riyadh Season Cup, which will bring together a number of the biggest international stars from across all three clubs competing,&rdquo; said Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority.
Messi has promoted tourism in Saudi Arabia and in May was suspended by former club Paris Saint-Germain for making an unauthorised trip to the country. He also played in this year&rsquo;s Riyadh Season Cup when PSG was the guest team.

Ronaldo&rsquo;s Al-Nassr and Neymar&rsquo;s Al-Hilal will take part in February&rsquo;s event, organisers said.
Inter Miami have confirmed they will embark on an international tour but did not reveal details. &ldquo;Since Day One, Inter Miami CF has set out to be a global brand. To this end, we have been in conversations to determine our 2024 preseason schedule,&rdquo; it said.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We look forward to showcasing our players on Inter Miami CF&rsquo;s first international tour which will be announced in the coming weeks.&rdquo;
Messi, who led Argentina to triumph at last year&rsquo;s World Cup, has already won his first trophy with the David Beckham co-owned Miami&mdash;the Leagues Cup in August.
