Speculation suggests Lionel Messi may pursue a short-term loan to enhance his fitness for the next World Cup. He aims to lead Argentina in defending their title but is concerned about the lack of competitive play due to a potential four-month winter layoff followed by three months in Major League Soccer. While his current contract expires this year, he is expected to remain with Inter Miami. The club has expressed willingness to support a loan move, which might benefit all parties involved.
Messi is considering a short-term loan to get him in peak condition for next summer's World Cup. His current contract expires at the end of this year.
Miami are unlikely to stand in his way if he decides to tune up for the World Cup elsewhere. A short-term loan does appear to suit all parties.
Messi moved to Catalonia aged 13 and made Barcelona his home, scoring 672 goals in 778 games. An emotional return before retirement may be desired.
Barcelona's financial situation remains delicate; Messi may have to accept a massively reduced contract for any return.
