After winning the Qatar World Cup, Messi has become the undisputed third-generation king of football. After becoming the king of football this time, Messi also chose to leave the top five leagues and join Miami.
However, after leaving Barcelona, Messi's relationship with Barcelona has remained quite close. After all, Messi himself has admitted that his career started at Barcelona, which holds great significance for him. During the recent 125th anniversary celebration of Barcelona, Messi even appeared and gave an interview expressing his gratitude to the club. This suggests that Messi indeed wants to reconcile with Barcelona, but it requires Laporta to make some concessions.
This time, Spanish media reported that Messi might return. Because Messi will renew his contract with Inter Miami, and after renewing, he also wants to be loaned back to Barcelona during the off-season of the MLS to play for a period of time. For this loan, Messi will not ask for a salary from Barcelona. He mainly wants to return to Barcelona to see and train with the club to maintain his form for the 2026 Mexico-United States-Canada World Cup.
The owner of Inter Miami, David Beckham, will also do a favor by allowing Messi to return to Barcelona on loan for a period of time to fulfill one of his career wishes without excessive interference. If Messi successfully returns to Barcelona, it will bring great attention to the club, and Barcelona will achieve the partnership between Messi and Ansu Fati. Messi can also guide his successor.
