In an unexpected turn of events, Lionel Messi, the Argentine football legend, will not be resuming his career with FC Barcelona, his former club.

Lionel Messi is poised to join Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami. The news broke out through a Twitter post from reputable sports journalist Fabrizio Romano. The world-class forward is anticipated to be gracing the Miami pitch by July or August.

Before this significant career move, Messi had been with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in France. However, his contract with the French club ended after the current season. Reunion talks with FC Barcelona, where Messi gained global stardom during his tenure from 2004-2021, were reportedly hampered by Barcelona’s financial difficulties.

Messi’s final moments with PSG were marked with some controversy. In the past month, Messi was subjected to a two-week suspension following his unauthorized absence from a training session, which he skipped to travel to Saudi Arabia. As a consequence of this suspension, Messi was barred from participating in any first-team activities or matches and was not compensated for the duration of his suspension.

Further details indicate that Messi’s misunderstanding with PSG arose from a communication mishap with PSG’s management. As per reports, Christophe Galtier, PSG’s manager, promised the team two days off, specifically Monday and Tuesday, contingent on a victory against Lorient on April 30, Sunday. However, should they suffer a defeat, the team would be called for training on Monday, May 1.

Messi, then aged 35, sought permission to honor his obligations as a Saudi ambassador, which would require his presence in the Arab Gulf. Galtier, along with sporting director Luis Campos, granted Messi permission to travel, but under the condition that it would only be permissible should the team win or draw the match against Lorient, not in the event of a defeat. ESPN disclosed these details.

However, following an unexpected 3-1 defeat to Lorient, Messi decided to proceed with his trip to Saudi Arabia without reconfirming his permission, meaning he was absent from the scheduled training the following Monday. ESPN’s sources claim that Messi’s actions increased tensions within the dressing room, with several players expressing discontent over the situation.

Messi’s previous move to PSG from Barcelona occurred in 2021, where he had signed a two-year contract. His impending shift to Inter Miami marks the next chapter in the illustrious career of this footballing superstar.
