It seems that there have been multiple reports suggesting a possible move by Lionel Messi to Inter Miami, and although there have been a number of denials, these rumours continue to persist. Messi’s alleged contract with Inter Miami reportedly includes a 35% stake in the club, which would be a significant part of the deal. It is also worth noting that Messi reportedly owns a home in South Florida, which may make a move to Inter Miami more appealing.
At the same time, Messi’s current contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to continue until at least the summer of 2023, with the possibility of extension until 2024. Messi’s time at PSG has seen ups and downs, but he appears to have found his footing again and is showing no signs of slowing down.
At this stage, any speculation about Messi’s future is just that – speculation. It seems that a decision has not yet been definitively made, and it is possible that Messi’s future could still take a number of different paths. With his existing ties to both PSG and Barcelona, along with the potential allure of a new challenge in the MLS with Inter Miami, it’s clear that Messi has a number of options on the table.
As with all high-profile transfer rumours, it’s always best to wait for official announcements from the clubs or the player’s representatives before jumping to conclusions. The football transfer market is highly fluid and anything could happen between now and the summer of 2023. As one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, there is no doubt that Messi’s decision will be eagerly awaited by football fans around the world.
