The annual drama, where Messi went is about to be staged again. Although the Argentine is not yet sure where his next stop is, based on previous media reports, he himself seems to be more inclined to return to Barca, but so far, his old club has not officially offered him, but a Western media revealed that FC Barcelona has unofficially offered Messi an annual contract of 25 million euros, which also includes a one-year extension option.
Two years ago, Messi left Barca for Paris, and although he won two league trophies with the team, he does not seem to be happy and comfortable here, so it is no secret that he will leave the team on a free transfer after his contract expires (next month 30). So the question is, since he is not playing in Paris, where will Messi's next stop be? From the previous situation, the official offer from Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Crescent and Miami International in the United States seems to have been placed in front of Messi, only waiting for his team to sit down and negotiate, but his old club Barca did not give a formal contract, but only made an offer informally.
According to reports, although Barca's conditions are much worse than those of the other two deep-pocketed clubs, Messi still seems to prefer his old club, although so far he has not decided which clear offer to accept in order to be able to dig deeper. The well-known French media "Team Newspaper" said that Barca plans to cooperate internationally with the American major league team Miami to return Messi on loan.
The media pointed out that although the Riyadh Crescent's offer of 1.4 billion euros is sincere enough, the Messi couple and their three children have not made up their minds to go to West Asia to live, because the Argentinian's goal for the future has not changed, that is, to return to Barca. But it is somewhat embarrassing that although Messi himself has a strong will, Barca's financial situation and lengthy budget constraints make it very difficult for them to sign Messi, and they must further reduce expenses and continue to "slim down".
Because of this situation, Barça began to turn to new solutions. The newspaper said that in recent days Barca have begun to discuss a "amazing" plan with Internacional Miami to sign Messi and then immediately loan the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner to Barca for 6 or 18 months, which would allow Messi to remain on the highest level of European stage until the 2024 Copa America (which will be played in the United States). However, this news was then "refuted" by the Argentine media, who said that Miami had indeed officially offered Messi, but did not include the terms and possibilities of subleasing Messi to Barca.
So where exactly is Messi going? I don't know if there will be a clear answer to this matter before he comes to China.
