After Inter Miami Shatter Lionel Messi’s Barcelona Dream, Saudi Arabia Reaches America With Another Insane Loan Bid: Reports

Inter Miami’s defeat against FC Cincinnati ended David Beckham’s dream of making it to the playoffs. The supporters of the Florida-based club felt they had a chance as Lionel Messi returned from injury. However, the team wasn’t able to turn things around as they lost 1-0. Messi will now be free from club soccer as Miami will be out of action for the next 4 months. Meanwhile, Saudi’s obsession with acquiring world-class players sees no boundaries as they prepare another loan bid for the former Barcelona star.

FC Barcelona will be left upset after Gerardo Martino’s recent remarks on Lionel Messi’s rumored switch to Barcelona. Martino wittingly tackled the questions as he shed more light on how the Messi situation will be handled.

All in the race to sign Lionel Messi

There is no denying Lionel Messi loves Barcelona. He has spent the majority of his career with the Catalans and has a special place in his heart for them. However, his move to Barcelona couldn’t materialize in the summer. With Miami out of the MLS race, Saudi Arabia is plotting a move for the Inter Miami star.

Saudi Arabia has proposed a loan move to bring the former PSG soccer star to their country. Miami’s last match is against Charlotte FC, after which Messi will be available till the end of February. It is during this period that SAFF and the PIF are trying to sign his services for one of the Saudi clubs.

Internal evaluations are ongoing at Saudi’s end and there will be an update soon. Though, it’s not the first time that a player will be making a loan move in off season. Earlier, David Beckham joined AC Milan during his tenure with LA Galaxy. Thierry Henry also signed for a two-month loan to Arsenal while he was playing for NY Red Bulls.

Not all hope is lost for FC Barcelona

Gerardo Martino addressed the press following his team’s playoff elimination. During the press conference, he faced questions about Lionel Messi’s potential return to FC Barcelona on loan. However, Martino promptly dismissed the idea, suggesting that while Messi might visit Barcelona, he wouldn’t be returning to play for the club.

Despite Martino’s remarks, speculation still lingers that Messi could be loaned to Barcelona, a move not uncommon in MLS, where stars have returned to their former clubs after playoff exits. Given MLS’s history of loaning players to European clubs in similar situations. Messi might follow suit and make a short-term move to FC Barcelona during the winter season.
