He is rumored to be considering a return to his former club, FC Barcelona, but the club is currently grappling with the financial viability of such a deal, given its need to comply with the rules of Financial Fair Play. Adding to the intrigue, reports suggest that the Saudi club, Al-Hilal, last month offered Messi a staggering €350 million ($374.2 million) a year, a claim denied by both the club and Messi’s father and agent, Jorge Messi.
However, in the background of these rumors, Inter Miami has put forth a significant offer. According to sources that have spoken to SPORT, David Beckham’s American franchise has made a €50 million ($53.5 million) per year offer for a four-year contract to Messi.
Although this figure is short of what Al-Hilal can offer, it’s still a formidable bid that would take Messi to his 40th birthday considerably wealthier, and double the €25 million ($27.5 million) per season that FC Barcelona can afford.
Prospect of a reunion of Messi with Sergio Busquets
The move to Inter Miami could also see Messi reunite with close friend Sergio Busquets, who is set to leave FC Barcelona in a few weeks. It’s a prospect that may be appealing to Messi.
The soccer world is eagerly awaiting Messi’s decision on his future. The expectation is that he will make a decision soon to avoid a drawn-out transfer saga over the summer. Regardless of where he ends up, one thing is certain: Lionel Messi’s decision will have a significant impact on the landscape of international soccer.
