49erssports.com - There is new speculation regarding the future of Lionel Messi. The striker is reportedly not going to move to Barcelona in 2023.
Messi is currently entering his final year with PSG. His contract with the Ligue 1 champions will expire in the summer of 2023.
Rumors circulated that Messi would return to Barcelona. The La Liga giants want to repatriate Messi when his contract expires.
Reported by The Athletic, Messi will not move to Barcelona. He is more likely to move to the United States to join Inter Miami.
Barcelona Can't
The report claims that Barcelona's chances of signing Messi are very small. Because they have complicated financial problems.
Barcelona's financial situation had improved after they pulled the four economic levers. However, their condition worsened again after Las Azulgrana were eliminated from the Champions League.
With their finances being bloody, Barcelona will reportedly find it difficult to pay Messi's exorbitant salary.
Serious Step
When Barcelona began to falter, there was a new challenger for Messi's services. The club is David Beckham's MLS club, Inter Miami.
Beckham has said several times that he wants to bring Messi to MLS. He considered now is the right time to persuade Messi to migrate to the United States.
Even Inter Miami's other co-founders Jorge Mas and Jose Mas have been in contact with Jorge Messi, Messi's father and agent, and the report claims they are in a good position to sign Messi.
Wait for the End of the Year
Messi himself reportedly still has not made a decision whether to stay or leave PSG.
He reportedly will only make a decision regarding his future after the 2022 World Cup rolled out.
