Lionel Messi will not go on loan to either Barcelona or Saudi Arabia

After returning from Argentina’s national team (where he produced another exceptional performance), Lionel Messi clarified the situation regarding his return to FC Barcelona.

Apart from his loan spell with his former team in Catalonia, Messi also had the opportunity to play for just a few months in Saudi Arabia.

Having reached the age of 36, Messi says that he does not consider either the option of returning to Barcelona or a loan in Saudi Arabia.

“I’ll train, play the next game (last game of the season on Saturday against Charlotte) and try to get in the best shape for November (with the national team) if I can be there again.

After that I will enjoy my vacation in Argentina. It’s the first time I’ll have a few weekends in December in peace with my people and I’ll be back in January to do pre-season again.

Start from scratch and prepare as best as you can, as always. I have been absent in recent matches and have had a series of injuries.

July was very difficult for us, we played every three days, we traveled, but we won an important tournament for the club (US Open Cup, no)” – Lionel Messiquoted by News.ro.

Recall that “Inter Miami” did not make the MLS playoffs, and Messi will try to help the Florida team achieve this next season (in which he hopes to play with the full team).

Throughout his career, Messi has played for FC Barcelona (2004-2021), PSG (2021-2023) and now Inter Miami (2023-).
