Why Messi Loan To Barca Won’t Happen 

Inter Miami forward, Lionel Messi will not be rejoining Barcelona in a stunning loan transfer, with Barcelona reportedly having other priorities for the January window.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has been rumoured to return to Camp Nou as his current team, Inter Miami, will not be competing in the MLS playoffs. On October 21, Messi’s first season in the United States will come to an end because the Florida-based team can no longer make the postseason.

He will play in World Cup qualifications with Argentina in November, but after that, he will have a long hiatus until the American football season starts in 2024. Messi might have returned to Europe on a temporary loan and found more competitive activity there.

No agreement will be reached with Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo, as the reigning La Liga winners continue to operate on a limited budget. Even if Messi accepted a low contract, La Liga would determine his pay to be significantly greater, as they did with Joao Felix, a summer signing.

Barca are also eager to get Vitor Roque registered in January, with there already a deal in place with Athletico Paranaense for the 18-year-old Brazilian forward. No consideration has been given to signing Messi, meaning that he will return to pre-season training with Inter Miami in January – while the David Beckham co-owned outfit could also look to line up a series of friendlies over the winter.
