Messi Stays at Inter Miami!!

 

The Greatest of All Time!!

Having arrived less than four months in the less famous and equivalently unattractive Major League Soccer to play for Inter Miami and winning them their first League Cup in August, the rumors circulating about his departure remain futile. According to the Argentinian footballing idol’s agent, Jorge Messi, his client, Messi, had an agreement with the Beckham’s Inter Miami and would keep his end of the contractual agreement to see his career through in the United States. According to their signed contractual agreement, the 36-year-old football magician is bound to stay until his time runs out in 2025. In addition to the term limit, the contract also gives a leeway for Messi to extend his stay at Inter Miami by another year. However, punters believe every contractual agreement have the possibility of reversion.

 

Messi revamped Inter Miami’s winning mojo within the first few weeks of his arrival. Beckam’s recruitment team led a footballing revolution through candid recruitment process bringing in the likes of Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquet, the veteran midfield maestro. Messi’s arrival only jelled the chemistry that had existed among the three Barcelona legends. At that time, an additional gem, Suarez, was also tempted to terminate his contract at Gremio to rekindle the attacking duo once hailed as the best attacking combination in world football at Barcelona. This dream failed to become fruitful as transfer conditions failed to materialize. It is shelved!!

 

Within the first month of his arrival at Intern Miami, Messi’s influence sparkled a wining streak at a club that had since ranked at the bottom of the league. Intern Miami, for the first time in their history, went unbeaten in 12 consecutive games with Messi scoring rampantly within that streak. It is within that similar timeframe that Inter Miami won the League Cup for the first time in the club’s history.

 

To evaluate Messi’s impact on winning games at Inter, while he was out of the squad, the club won only 2 of their 6 matches against 5 out of 6 where Messi was included. These statistics add to the Argentinian’s footballing prowess over the years for the past 18 years or so.

For the past 18 years, Messi has not only ranked as one of the best players in the world, but also won awards complementing his stature in the world football. With the coming Balon’ dor (2023) which shows Messi is to win, it will be his 8^th time winning the trophy, with only Cristiano Ronaldo coming in second to him with 6. Without taking any credit from Ronaldo’s achievements, it is only fair to measure the might of any athlete by the number of medals each win during the competition. All factors considered; Messi rises above the ranks.

 

As at the time of this article, the world knows that the imminent winner of the next Balon’ dor is Messi. This information is not only in the public domain, but those who will present the trophy to Messi, Drogba, hints at his imminent win. But then wait a minute, does this bring in pressure on Messi to seek European football again?

 

This is the big question. After this win, will Messi desire to set the bar higher for the upcoming players such as Mbappe and Haaland by returning to Europe?

 

This is the big question cracking punters’ heads, making them believe that the rumors about Messi’s potential move back to Camp Nou could be imminent. Yes, there are reasons to believe Messi could fancy a King’s return at the club he knew as a youth and cried profusely when he had no option but to leave without saying goodbye to the fans who stuck by him for more than 21 years. Of which, within those years, he met their expectations.

 Having heard from his agent, it becomes increasingly clear that the punters may have a different opinion about Messi’s next move. According to source closer to his agents, the Argentinian will stay at Inter Miami and realize his contractual agreement with the club prior to thinking of his departure or renewing his contract to retire in the United States. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely anyone would ever achieve even a third of his achievements as far as Balon’ Dor is concerned.

 

More insights from the magician’s camp state that he is focused on Intern Miami and the coming COPA America games. Unlike Angel Di Maria, Messi’s Argentine attacking counterpart, who has announced that he’ll retire from International football after the 2024 COPA America, there’re no indicative measures showing Messi will hang his boots and shy from representing his country any time soon. After all, he is loudly spoken. If he had such intentions, he could have announced his retirement just like he’s retired twice from the International football only to show up once more.

 

Punters pen their argument about Mess’s imminent return to Camp Nou on Xavi’s pronouncements regarding their relationship with Messi in the previous transfer window before the Argentine chose to join Beckam’s struggling Inter Miami. If the current rumors about his return to Barca were any true, they could be more accurate in the last transfer window. Because, according to major newrooms including main football reporting media houses including Skysports, Messi was on the verge of rejoining with Xavi and Barcelona.

 

During the previous transfer window, news regarding Messi’s return was always considered a possibility due to indications from Barca’s president, Joan Laporta. Laporta continuously hinted to the media he’d like Messi to return to Camp Nou as he stated “We have an unfinished business with Leo.” According to Laporta, Messi will return to Camp Nou at some point in time, whether as a player or a manager, something most people could fathom.

Is this increasing pressure from punters culminating to anything? It is not in my position to answer. You cannot take my words for it, but Messi’s agents. According to my news sourcing, Messi is likely to stay in MLS for a very long time. Maybe as long as his footballing Gods tell him to keep kicking the ball. However, it is also in the public domain that he’d love to retire at his childhood club, Newell’s Old Boys. All these, are punters’ speculations.

 

The emerging reports from MLS state that Messi is staying at Inter Miami despite rumors going round about his possible departure. His agent states he’ll wait for the new season to come, and proceed to the pitch activities with Intern Miami as he was aware of the footballing gaps in the MLS calendar prior to signing. It is these footballing calendar gaps that punters observe to create a notion that Messi would be loaned to Barcelona until a new season emerges at MLS.

 

In summation, since his arrival in MLS, Messi has done nothing but be the best version of him better than he was at his previous clubs according to performance and the rejuvenated love for the game. Despite the loan rumors to Barcelona during the MLS season break, it is confirmed the football magician will wait for the season to open while using that break to go for vacations with his family. Messi if fully focused on Inter Miami and no other footballing activity would persuade him to leave the club he now finds a second home.
