As Inter Miami’s season draws to a close, Lionel Messi could take advantage of the offseason to join Saudi Arabia.

It’s official since this weekend: Inter Miami will not play in the MLS playoffs. Landed this summer when he had been left free by PSG, Lionel Messi should therefore remain more than four months without playing before the start of the next season, at the end of February. A prospect which hardly enchants the former Parisian.

Thus, according to Sport, the seven-time Ballon could make his return to Barça this winter to play the second half of the season with the Catalan club. But Catalonia is not the only possible destination for the Argentine world champion.

Saudi Arabia would also be in the running to welcome him. Last summer, the Saudis had already pushed hard to attract the native of Rosario but Lionel Messi ultimately rejected Al-Hilal’s offer to favor Miami and MLS.
