The prospect of Luc Mares moving to MLS could rival Messi

Luke Mares (29) played 171 matches in the Keuken Champion Division before moving to Scandinavia. There, the midfielder lost his visibility in the football-loving Netherlands. Now an unexpected opportunity suggests he is looking to join MLS and could be in direct competition with Lionel Messi. In 2021, Mares left the Netherlands. After spending two seasons at Fortuna Sittard and four seasons at MVV Maastricht, he chose a new step in Norway. IK Start gave him the opportunity to work abroad. It turned out to be a golden thing. With IK Start, which saw him promoted to the highest level, Mares moved up to Hammarkamaraten. At Hamcom, Mares attracted attention with his performance. In the previous ground, CF Montreal made three bids on Mares, who looked almost anonymous. But the transfer could not take place, as Hamcom did not cooperate. A bid of six million euros was accepted. This led to frustration in Mares, who fell out with the club. Now, the MLS club is back to give it another chance. Recently, Montreal made a new bid on Mares. With this, a new exposure could be established in North America. And this time around, Hamcom is more interested in giving the midfielder the space to take a big step forward in his career. If the transfer goes through, August 30 will mark a mark in Mares' day books. Because on this day, Montreal will face Inter Miami FC. This means a match with Messi, who is still active in the World Cup. For Luc Mares, the prospect of competing with Messi is a joy in what previously seemed like a utopia.
