Inter Miami to keep Lionel Messi on loan after MLS season, report says
Argentinian superstar to have one-month vacation before preseason preparations
After the Major League Soccer season concludes, Inter Miami allegedly plans to keep captain Lionel Messi on loan.
The Saudi Pro League and a potential return to FC Barcelona have been mentioned in relation to the 36-year-old attacker.
According to Spanish writer Guillem Balague, the world-famous figure is only taking vacations.
According to the BBC, Balague stated, "Messi will have around one month holiday, like other footballers." "Therefore, disregard any relocation to Saudi Arabia or anything comparable."
Inter Miami is no longer eligible for the playoffs. On October 21, they play their last game against Charlotte.
Since joining Miami, Messi has appeared in five MLS regular-season games (three starts), tallying one goal and two assists. Messi has 11 goals and 8 assists in 13 outings for the team in all competitions.
The preseason for Inter Miami is scheduled to start in January, although Messi may participate in exhibition matches with the team when they travel to Asia in November.
Despite their financial difficulties, Barcelona is rumored to have been receptive to bringing the 36-year-old superstar back.
