Fans speculate over Paul Pogba's next club being Inter Miami after he was spotted with Lionel Messi's bodyguard.

Lionel Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, was spotted courtside at an NBA game with France international Paul Pogba, sparking rumours that the 31-year-old could be set for a move to Inter Miami. 

Chueko is a retired Navy SEAL hired to protect Lionel Messi, following the Argentine's transfer to Miami. The 34-year-old bodyguard is a main feature at Inter Miami games and has been clipped on multiple occasions charging to close down pitch invaders attempting to come in contact with Messi. 

With the Herons having crashed out of the MLS Cup, Chueko is seemingly enjoying a well-earned break and was spotted at a Miami Heat NBA game, a match Pogba was in attendance at.

Since joining Inter Miami, Messi has attracted high-profile players to the club, particularly former teammates like Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba. 

Most recently Javier Mascherano, his former teammate at the club and country was named as the new head coach, such is Messi's influence on the club's recruitment policy. 

Hence when Cheuko was spotted with Pogba, fans speculated that the bodyguard was doubling as an agent for Messi to discuss a move to Inter Miami with Paul Pogba.
