In the summer of 2023, Messi rejected offers from Saudi Arabian clubs to move to the United States to play for Inter Miami. However, teams in the West Asian country have not given up on owning the Argentine superstar.
Accordingly, they are planning to borrow Messi for a few months during the time Inter Miami is not playing. Because this club did not make it to the playoff round for the championship in the US Major League Soccer (MLS), it will be out of competition from October 2023 to February 2024.
Therefore, Saudi Arabian clubs want to borrow Messi back for 4 months. If this happens, El Pulga will have the opportunity to face C. Ronaldo once again in his career.
Inter Miami is willing to loan Messi out for a few months to continue his playing career.
In the past, David Beckham, Henry and Robbie Keane all left American clubs to play in Europe on loan for a few months.
According to Sky Sport journalist Rudy Galetti, Saudi Arabian clubs do not want to miss the golden opportunity to own Messi, even for a short time. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) sees recruiting the Argentine superstar as an important move.
This summer, Al Hilal tried to lure Messi with a contract worth 400 million Euros per year but was still rejected by El Pulga. However, Messi is unlikely to refuse the invitation from Saudi Arabia forever because this player is still "doing business" with the government of this country under a contract to promote Saudi Arabian tourism.
Recently, Messi has been rumored to return to Barcelona to play for a few months, but it seems that this deal is unlikely to come true.
Recently, coach Tata Martino denied the above information. He said: "Is Messi going out? Maybe he will visit Barcelona. Apart from that, I don't know anything else."
