Messi’s next destination.. Barcelona, ​​USA, or Saudi Arabia?

After more signs of his exit from French side Paris Saint-Germain, veteran Argentina star Lionel Messi has a number of options between Saudi Arabia, the United States and his old club Barcelona in Spain. Return “Mosquito” despite the financial difficulties of a similar operation.

Heart’s Choice.. Barcelona

As his contract with Saint-Germain draws to a close, which saw him suspended for several days for traveling to Saudi Arabia without permission, Spanish newspapers continue to talk about Messi’s return to former club Barcelona.

Messi dreams of returning to Catalonia at the age of thirty-six, and the fans of the “Camp Nou” stadium still have this hope: on several occasions in the past weeks, the fans of the club have chanted the name of the icon Messi.

But the process has been complicated for Barcelona due to financial concerns.

According to “Mundo Deportivo” newspaper, the club is still awaiting the Spanish league’s approval of a “possible plan” that would include the extension of Cavy, the Uruguayan, Ronald Araujo, Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto. Messi’s return.

But to sign players without breaking the salary cap, Barcelona will have to cut their spending by 200 million euros.

One of Barcelona’s first decisions to achieve this goal was to close its television channel “Barca TV” on June 30.

According to the club, the channel loses 13 million euros a year, but according to the employees, many of whom will be unemployed, the losses do not exceed six million euros.

Javier Debas, the league’s controversial president, expressed doubts about the Argentine’s return to RMC Sports: “To this day, Messi’s arrival seems complicated to me. Barcelona are not like Paris Saint-Germain, he has a gas pipe and money. Pay more.”

Wallet option.. Saudi Arabia

A reunion between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and the marketing of a possible bid to host the World Cup in the coming years seems like a crazy challenge, but Saudi Arabia is able to achieve it in light of its extraordinary financial capabilities.

Messi was originally linked to the Saudi Tourism Authority in a deal to market through social media, and this meant Messi and his family traveled to Saudi Arabia, leading to his suspension from the Qatari-owned club.

Doubts remain over Messi’s ability to join the Saudi league and rematch with Ronaldo, who caught the breath of the crowd in Spain when the “Don” wore the colors of Real Madrid.

Several recent reports suggested that the Al-Hilal club made an attractive offer for the seven-time world player of the year, which is worth 400 million euros annually to bring the world champion to Qatar last December.

Last February, an official familiar with the Cup confirmed to “Agence France Presse” on condition of anonymity that Saudi Arabia is seeking to establish partnerships with Messi to support its World Cup.

It was reported months ago that Saudi Arabia wanted to submit a joint bid with Greece and Egypt to host the 2030 edition, but the candidacy has not yet been made official.

After Ronaldo’s luxury deal with Al-Nasser, doubts about Messi being offered a similar or better offer and breaking more records are no longer large.

But will Messi single himself out in the second-tier competition, a year before the 2024 Copa America?

Choice of the Future.. Miami

This hypothesis is less in transfer rumors, but it exists: a new challenge for Messi in “Inter Miami” in Florida in the North American Championship, which always includes South American stars like the Brazilian at the end of their careers. , Kaka, Argentine, Goncalo Higuain or now Brazilian, Douglas Costa.

The option helps bring the family closer to Miami, where Messi has a “solid foundation.”

Former English St-Germain player David Beckham is one of the club’s owners, and the former Manchester United star was recently photographed with the Argentine at the “Can de Loge” center for St-Germain’s training sessions.

“I don’t deny that there is some truth in the rumors of interest in Lionel Messi,” Inter Miami coach Bill Neville said at the end of February. “It will be a great addition to the North American league.”
