The 35-year-old world champion from Argentina had previously announced his plans in an interview with the two Spanish sports newspapers “Mundo deportivo” and “Sport”. “I’ve decided I’m going to Miami,” he said. They are not yet 100 percent in agreement and “a few things still need to be clarified. But we have decided that I will continue my path there,” he explained. He did not reveal any details, nor anything about a possible contract period with Miami. He can move free of charge, his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires.
Messi on Barca cancellation
Future Inter Miami football star Lionel Messi would love to return to his former club Barcelona. “I wanted to make my own decision and that’s why my return to Barça didn’t happen. Even if I would have liked to do it, it wasn’t possible,” said the 35-year-old in an interview with the two Spanish sports newspapers “Mundo deportivo” and “Sport”.
In particular, FC Barcelona’s financial turmoil influenced the Argentine’s decision to play for David Beckham’s US club in the future. “I heard they had to sell players or lower salaries and the truth is I didn’t want that,” Messi said of the Spanish club, for which he played from his youth until 2021. The Argentina international hinted that he didn’t want to be blamed for Barcelona having to adjust their squad just to accommodate him.
Even if Messi will probably not return to Barcelona as a player, he can certainly imagine returning to the Catalans in another capacity in the future: “I don’t know when or what, but I hope that one day I can contribute something to the club and can help because it’s a club that I love, like I’ve always said,” explained Messi, who can also well imagine living in Barcelona with his family someday.
