In the summer of 2023, Messi rejected the offer of Saudi Arabian clubs to move to the US to play for Inter Miami. However, teams in the West Asian country have not yet given up their intention of owning the Argentine superstar.
Accordingly, they are planning to borrow Messi for a few months while Inter Miami is not playing. Because this club did not make it to the play-off round to compete for the championship in the US Professional League (MLS), it will stop playing from October 10 to February 2023.
That’s why Saudi Arabian clubs want to borrow Messi again for 4 months. If this happens, El Pulga has the opportunity to face C.Ronaldo once again in his career.
Inter Miami Club is ready to let Messi loan him out for a few months to continue playing football.
In the past, David Beckham, Henry or Robbie Keane all left the American club to go to Europe to play on loan for a few months.
According to journalist Rudy Galetti’s Sky Sports, Saudi Arabian clubs do not want to miss the golden opportunity to own Messi, even for a short time. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) considers recruiting the Argentine superstar an important move.
This summer, Al Hilal Club tried to attract Messi with a contract worth 400 million Euros per year but was still rejected by El Pulga. However, Messi is unlikely to forever refuse the invitation from Saudi Arabia because this player is still “doing business” with the country’s government under a contract to promote Saudi Arabia tourism.
In recent times, Messi has been rumored to return to Barcelona to play in a few months, but it seems that this deal is unlikely to come true.
Recently, coach Tata Martino denied the above information. He said: “Messi going out? Maybe he will visit Barcelona. Other than that I don’t know anything else.”
