Why is Leo Messi linked to FC Barcelona?
In Barcelona, and around the world, there are many fans who long to see Messi again in the Barça team, and now the rumor is spreading again.
Having failed to qualify for the Playoffs, Inter Miami’s season will end on October 21 and they will not have to return to action until February.
Since there is such a long break of several months, the rumor has been “suggested” and has spread that Messi will play on loan at FC Barcelona until the new MLS season begins.
Are there cases of players who were in the MLS and were loaned to European clubs?
This formula of loaning a player while the new season begins is not something new in MLS. Big stars like Thierry Henry and David Beckham went to play in the United States, and at the end of the season they were loaned out.
What is the position of FC Barcelona and Leo Messi?
The Barça team has not made any official statement in this regard, however, from eldiario Sport they point out that the club is aware of the issue but there has been no type of movement.
Furthermore, the aforementioned media adds that Inter Miami and the player’s entourage have not discussed any transfer.
At the moment it seems that this is just one more rumor surrounding the Argentine and his return to Barcelona.
Furthermore, 90min understands that there is no indication from Messi that he wants to move to Europe after the MLS season. But in the event that he really wanted it and if he had any option, Inter Miami is unlikely to stand in his way.
Barcelona sources say they will always monitor Messi’s situation, but they are very happy with Lamal, Félix, etc. Also, Joan Laporta wasn’t happy with Messi’s snub, so overall they see it as highly unlikely at the moment, but never say never when it comes to Messi and Barca.
Farewell to Leo Messi from FC Barcelona
Leo Messi could not say goodbye to FC Barcelona as he would have wanted or as he deserved and that is a thorn that is still stuck. The owner of Inter Miami, Jorge Mas, said that he will do everything possible so that Messi can have a farewell worthy of him but at no time did he talk about a return to Barcelona or a loan.
“I gave him my commitment that I will do everything possible in the coming years to give him the opportunity to say goodbye to his fans in Barcelona… either Inter Miami goes there or we will do some kind of match,” Mas said.
