While Inter Miami, co-owned by David Beckham, hopes to extend Messi’s contract beyond 2025, the football legend is said to be contemplating a temporary switch, possibly for several months, to a top-flight European club.
Messi’s dream is clear: end his international career on a high in America in 2026, leading La Albiceleste to another World Cup. And for that, he wants nothing less than regular, high-level matches.
Despite reaching the Club World Cup, Inter Miami were outclassed in the round of 16 by Paris Saint-Germain, Messi’s former team, losing 4-0.
The defeat, coupled with his visible frustration during the game, even being accused of trying to punch ex-teammate Vitinha, has fueled speculation that he craves a bigger challenge ahead of the tournament.
Interestingly, Messi has never played in England, though that nearly changed in 2008 when then-Man City boss Mark Hughes revealed Sheikh Mansour tried to sign him during his £200 million takeover of the club.
More recently, Pep Guardiola reportedly considered a reunion with the Argentine before his PSG stint in 2021.
A romantic return to Barcelona has also been floated in recent months. However, trusted journalist Guillem Balague suggests that Messi’s strained relationship with Barça president Joan Laporta makes a comeback to the Catalan giants unlikely.
With 112 international goals in 193 caps and eight Ballon d’Or titles under his belt, a Premier League debut would be a thrilling, history-making twist in the twilight of Messi’s career.
