Lionel Messi who is seemingly making an impressive transition to football in the US with Major League Soccer (MLS) team Inter Miami could potentially become the club’s leading scorer.

The Argentina Captain who has already racked up three goals in his first two games for his new team, only needs 26 more strikes to become the club’s top marksman.

The current club record stands at 29 goals which is held by fellow Argentinian Gonzalo Higuain, who retired from competitive football last year following inter’s exit from the MLS second round.

The Messi who scored on debut, added two more goals to his account plus an assist in Inter’s 4-0 win over Atlanta United securing Inter’s second win in as many games.

With Messi already 11th on the club’s all-time scorer’s list with his three goals thus far, a timer has seemingly been set on how the club’s overall record stand.

The World Cup winner who holds several scoring records at both the club and international levels, is Argentina’s all time record goal-scorer with 103 in 175 appearances.

The forward is also Barcelona’s all-time scorer 672. He also ended his career in Europe as the all-time leader across all competitions with 496 strikes, one more than perennial rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi spectacularly marked his club debut with a mesmerizing late free kick to seal a dramatic 2-1 for Inter against Cruz Azul in the League Cup last Saturday
