Just three months after his arrival in the United States, Lionel Messi could make his return to Barça if Inter Miami does not qualify for the playoffs. Which is a very bad start.
You only miss one person… Deprived of Lionel Messi, on the sidelines for four matches due to a thigh injury, Inter Miami is suffering. New example this Wednesday with the heavy defeat conceded by the Florida franchise on the pitch in Chicago. A setback which brought David Beckham’s team a little closer to elimination from the regular season. With only three matches left to play, Inter Miami has five points out of pocket on Montreal, 9e and last dam operator.
An absence of Inter Miami in the playoffs would sound like a major failure for the Florida franchise but could give rise to an incredible twist of theater. According to Sport, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner could indeed be tempted by a return to Barça for the second half of the season, two and a half years after his departure. If the Argentinian is under contract with Inter Miami until 2025, David Beckham could be all the more open to this hypothesis as he himself increased the number of return trips with Europe while he was playing. at the Los Angeles Galaxy.
If no discussion in this direction has yet started according to those close to the player, another scenario could also be considered. More than at Barça, it is in fact to Newell’s Old Boy, his training club, that the Argentinian could return, without waiting for the end of his contract in 2025.
