The Argentine football legend is considering moving to a more competitive league, helping Messi to have the best preparation with the Albicelestes army to defend the World Cup title next year.

Inter Miami are keen to extend Messi's contract, as his current deal expires at the end of this year.

Messi could play football in Europe as early as 2026

But even if he signs a new contract with Inter Miami, Messi could still temporarily play for a top European team for 6 months on loan, before the 2026 World Cup starts.

Sources from Argentina said that Messi himself wants to play top-level matches to maintain his physical condition and form before the biggest football festival on the planet in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Inter Miami have just been eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup by PSG. Lionel Messi was particularly disappointed to see the gap in skill level between the two clubs exposed.

He could return to Europe to play football for a short time early next year, with two notable destinations in La Liga and the Premier League.

The possibility of returning to Barcelona is not very bright, due to the tense relationship between Messi and club president Joan Laporta.

Therefore, the prospect of Messi coming to England is appealing to the superstar who has won the Ballon d'Or eight times.

In 2021, coach Pep Guardiola intended to reunite with his former student at Etihad Stadium, before Messi decided to join PSG.
