Lionel Messi’s new dirty trick at FC Barcelona
The Argentine international took the floor and took stock of his future, taking the opportunity in passing to fail his former club, FC Barcelona.Where will Lionel Messi play in the (very) near future? The Argentinian is under contract in Miami until December 2025, and everything indicates that he intends to go to the end of his Florida adventure.
However, her team will not play the Major League Soccer playoffs, since she did not qualify through the regular season, and La Pulga will have several months of vacation. In recent weeks, there has been talk of a return to Europe, or even a departure to Saudi Arabia, in the form of a loan for a few weeks.
The next MLS season will not start until the end of February, so it is possible that in the meantime, players will come to do a draw in Europe or elsewhere. A bit like the return of Thierry Henry to Arsenal in 2012, when he played at the New York Red Bull. On the side of Barcelona, some were even convinced that it was possible to see him return to Catalonia to play some matches.
But the main concerned quickly insisted on cooling his former club and his former fans. He spoke on Wednesday, during the stage of his selection, to rule out any return to Catalonia. «I will train, I will play the game that is coming (there is one last game left in Miami, editor’s note) and I will try to arrive in the best way possible for November (Argentina plays against Uruguay and Brazil, editor’s note) if I can be there again» he started.
«After that I will enjoy the holidays in Argentina. This is the first time I will have many more vacation days in December with peace of mind my loved ones and in January I will come back to do the pre-season again. Starting from scratch and preparing as best as possible, as always» the player concluded. No return to Barcelona.
As a reminder, this season, the Argentinian won the Leagues Cup, pitting the MLS franchises against those of Liga MX, being named best player of the competition. In MLS, he scored a goal and delivered two assists in five games.
