Messi could make a shock transfer after Inter Miami is eliminated

(Dan Tri) - According to journalist Esteban Edul of ESPN Argentina, Messi may consider leaving Inter Miami in the near future.

Messi's contract with Inter Miami will expire in December this year. The contract between the two sides has a clause to extend the contract for another year. However, recently, the negotiations for a new contract between the two sides have been stalled.

According to ESPN Argentina journalist Esteban Edul, Inter Miami still wants to keep Messi but the Argentine player wants to carefully consider his future. The Argentine striker is said to want to play in a more competitive league 6 months before the 2026 World Cup starts.

Journalist Esteban Edul pointed out two suitable destinations for Messi. That is returning to Argentina to play for his childhood club Newell's Old Boys or going to Barcelona on a short-term contract to play at the top level in Europe.

Inter Miami just suffered a 0-4 defeat to PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16. It was a match in which the American representative was far inferior to their opponent in terms of level and class.

Messi is like a lonely bird when his teammates are not at a high level. Many people "feel sorry" for El Pulga when he cannot carry Inter Miami when he turns 38.

Therefore, on social networks, many fans have advised Messi to leave Inter Miami to go to a new environment more suitable for his level.

Former player Ibrahimovic also spoke up to defend Messi: “Today Messi did not lose, but Inter Miami did. Messi is playing football with statues, not teammates. If he were to play in a real team, everyone would see the real lion again. Messi still plays with a strong love for football and does many things that others cannot do.”

Messi will carefully consider the final destination of his career. Many sources confirm that El Pulga wants to try to conquer the 2026 World Cup before considering retirement.
