Inter Miami coach Tata Martino addresses the rumor that Lionel Messi could return to FC Barcelona on loan.
WHAT HAPPENED? Inter Miami coach Tata Martino has commented on the rumor that his star player Lionel Messi could soon join his former club FC Barcelona on loan.
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? Inter Miami had to bury all play-off hopes in the MLS on Saturday with a defeat against Cincinnati. The new season doesn’t start until February 2024, so Messi won’t have any important competitive games with his new club in the near future.
Therefore, the recent rumor arose that Messi could return to FC Barcelona on loan in January to help the Catalans in the second half of the season and then return to Miami in the summer of 2024.
He signed a two and a half year contract with Inter Miami in the summer.
WHAT WAS SAID? “Is he flying there for fun? Maybe he’ll visit Barcelona again. Other than that, I don’t know anything about it,” said Miami coach Martino.
