“Don’t Play Football” – Lionel Messi Told to ‘Enjoy Miami,’ as He Snubs Opportunities to Go on Loan After Inter Miami’s MLS Humiliation

Inter Miami’s early exit from the MLS regular season has sparked numerous speculations regarding Messi’s potential loan move. The headlines are abuzz with La Pulga’s potential return to Barcelona or a prospective move to the Saudi Pro League. However, a soccer journalist remained skeptical about any such opportunities and urged Lionel Messi to consider the season break in Miami before the onset of the new campaign.

The Argentine failed to alter the misfortune of Miami’s post-season qualification. The Herons were without the Barca icon during the latter part of the league fixtures due to his injury concerns. On this note, speculation arose regarding the Barca stars’ position over the next four months, given his absence from any domestic fixtures.

Is Lionel Messi better off in Inter Miami during the season break?

ESPN FC’s Julien Laurens made an extensive remark on the reports surrounding La Pulga’s loan move in January. The journalist suggests that Messi should prioritize thorough recovery from his muscle injury and refrain from considering any potential opportunity during the upcoming months. The PSG icon had already adjusted to his life in South Florida upon his arrival for the Herons. On this note, the reporters believe the world champion should take a four-month hiatus from any soccer engagements and return during the preseason.

Grab Marcotti remarked in the Gabs & Juls Show, “Why would Messi go on loan to anywhere in Europe for six months or to Saudi Arabia to do what? He’s already been injured; he needs a rest. He is 37 years old. He doesn’t need any money. He needs his family, rest, and enjoy Miami. Go back to Argentina see everybody do whatever you want. Get this sun, get tan. Don’t play football. It’s the break.”

Moreover, Lionel Messi is set to participate in la Albiceleste’s CONMEBOL qualifier games until next month. The Argentine’s potential return to Barcelona will be a challenging prospect for both the club and the player, despite how appealing it may sound to the soccer enthusiast.

The constraints of Barca for La Pulga’s loan move

Barcelona won’t be able to sign Lionel Messi before the winter transfer window. This implies that La Pulga will be out of domestic action until January. The Argentine’s loan spell will be brief with missing crucial Champions League action. Also, Barca’s massive financial issue will hinder them from any winter spending.

On the other hand, Inter Miami is poised to commence its MLS campaign in early 2024, with the CONCACAF Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup on their agenda. The Herons will need Lionel Messi to his full potential to contend with the challenging schedule in the next season. Consequently, Blaugrana’s potential loan move will be a demanding choice to sustain his performance in the upcoming season with Inter Miami.
