Messi Loan Deal Saga

Another day, another MLS saga. The subplot of all megastars that went to MLS, only to turn back to European glory one last time. However, Lionel Messi is not like every other megastar, he is the undisputed GOAT of football who likes to do things his way. If his consistent rejection of billion-dollar deals does not give you an idea, we don’t know what will.

For now, it’s clear that he is going nowhere. According to recent reports by Spanish journalist Guillem Balagué, Messi is presently focusing on the World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil and is not thinking about the dismal position of his club for playoffs this season.

After winning the League Cup – the club’s first trophy since its inception – the guy has bigger and better things in wraps for Inter Miami FC. Messi’s arrival has elevated the status of football in the US and he is considered a king. So, the next time you hear about Messi going back to Barcelona or the Saudi Pro League by either Spanish or Saudi journalist, think of it as nothing more than a pipe dream.

Messi’s Transfer to Barcelona (Not Happening)

Like a ghost of the future past, Barcelona is a club that would always be on the cards the moment any minute speculation of the GOAT starts to pick up.

The reason is Messi-FCB relationship is bigger than salaries and trophies. It transcends football as it is a place he calls home and if the stars properly align someday for both then maybe, just maybe, we can see him playing there again, but that day my friends is not today.

Sources close to the club have confirmed that no such deal will be happening anytime soon. Moreover, sources close to Messi have also denied the rumors by saying, “he is fully focused on Inter Miami and Argentina.”

Messi Prospects for MLS (Up & Up)

Right now, Messi is all focused on winning the league for his team and building a fighting spirit/the winning spirit within his team that will help him conquer the Americas and the World.

Yes, Inter Miami reached the pinnacle of their club history by winning the League Cup and then suffered without him due to his injuries by exiting from the playoffs this season. As painful as it is for Messi and the Club, one setback doesn’t decide the fate of a club. Moreover, the playoffs were also a long shot even with Messi playing.

For now, the club has decided to give Messi a break before pre-season to capitalize on him fully upon his return when the MLS season starts in February 2024. The world will be their Oyster with opportunities such as the CONCACAF Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup up for grabs.

Lastly, why would a club like Miami let go of a superstar like Messi, presently they thinking about a pre-season round-up across the Americas, Middle East, and Asia to not only promote the team but rake up millions on the star’s popularity.

What Does the Future Hold?

Well, like in life nothing is certain in the world of football. However, one thing that is certain, which Messi has confirmed many times in recent interviews is his desire to finish his illustrious career at his childhood club Newell’s Old Boys.

However, this won’t be happening anytime soon as Messi still has more than two years left in his Inter Miami contract. Right now, you can expect a thundering return for the GOAT who doesn’t like his team losing.
