Champions League

Barcelona

Club Friendlies

Universitario de Deportes

Inter Miami CF

<p>There is no chance of that path being trodden any time soon, with the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lionel-messi-inter-miami-contract-wages-cristiano-ronaldo/blt11e2d05b108b1895" target="_blank">tied to a contract at MLS side Inter Miami </a>for at least another 12 months. Said deal includes the option for an extension through 2026.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Messi is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-wants-mls-cup-win-inter-miami-star-vows-come-back-stronger-play-off-heartache-herons-2024/blt2549de8b8cf2103e" target="_blank">determined to land more major honours in the United States</a>, having suffered play-off heartache in 2024. Questions are, however, being asked of what the World Cup winner will decide to do once the day comes to bid farewell to Florida.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-return-barcelona-cristiano-ronaldo-anniversary-match-inter-miami-david-beckham-ronaldinho/blt793d8c22de2e883f" target="_blank">unlikely that he will ever represent Barcelona again</a> as a player, but the 37-year-old has stated a desire to return to that part of the world with his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-wife-antonela-roccuzzo-officially-joins-adidas-family-huge-career-move-stylish-photos-inter-miami-superstar/blt6b0793e89472e884" target="_blank">wife Antonela and their three sons</a> after hanging up his boots. Quizzed by <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20241206/1002365969/messi-extrano-cules.html " target="_blank"><em>Mundo Deportivo</em></a> on whether he has a message for those at Camp Nou, Messi said: "I miss you all very much, I hope we can see each other again soon and that you feel proud to be part of the best club in the world."</p>

WHAT MESSI SAID

<p>Messi spent more than two decades with Barca as a player before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/messi-left-barcelona-crying-henry-patience-psg-form-emotional-shock/blt1c7a16e8c96b6bfd" target="_blank">leaving for Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent in 2021</a> – with the Blaugrana <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/barcelona-hoped-messi-would-play-for-free-as-laporta-discusses-contract-talks-and-koemans-future/inc285ai0xr21cwyyb1uwxwzu" target="_blank">unable to finance a new contract</a>. Asked about his favourite memories from that record-shattering spell with the Liga giants, the South American GOAT said: "The truth is, there were a lot of special moments. What I remember most are the collective titles we won: the year of the Sextet, and also those not so good moments when we were able to turn the situation around. They were a lot of special moments and I enjoyed them a lot."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Messi continues to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-never-far-away-lionel-messi-son-wears-lamine-yamal-shirt-argentine-superstar-bike-ride-wife-antonela-roccuzzo/bltcbda440a4777660e" target="_blank">keep a close eye on how Barcelona are faring</a>, as they remain in the hunt for domestic and continental prizes. He should be able to catch plenty of games over the coming weeks, with Inter Miami not due to be back in action until starting their pre-season campaign at some point in early 2025.</p>
