‘Lionel Messi Is Unsure Of Staying At PSG Which Is Good For Inter Miami’

The uncertainty about Lionel Messi staying at Paris Saint Germain has given Inter Miami a major hope that they can actualize their dream of bringing him to the Major League Soccer next summer.

The current contract of Lionel Messi with the French Ligue 1 side will expire after the current season in May. Since last year, there have been negotiations to extend the deal.

However, the French publication L’Equipe said on Wednesday that Messi was beginning to doubt his decision to remain in France and that Inter Miami was the front-runner to sign him.

Messi relocating to the United States would be fantastic for Major League Soccer and its growing international reputation.

L’Equipe reports that Messi’s family is excited about the idea of moving to America. Messi reportedly vacations frequently in Miami and owns a house in the city.

Messi and Inter Miami were reportedly close to agreeing on a prospective contract in November of last year, according to Sportsmail.

Messi would not be able to make nearly as much money in the United States as he does in Paris ($1.45 million per week), but the chance to build his brand there may be even more lucrative according to reports.

The amount that Messi, who is currently 35, would receive would make him the highest-paid soccer player in US history.

So far this season, Messi has made 25 appearances and scored 15 goals for PSG. On Tuesday night, his heart was broken as he led PSG to suffer a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Messi’s future will be even more closely scrutinized if Munich wins the second leg and knocks PSG out of the competition. It will also be uncertain if Messi will ever again play in Europe’s top club competition after this season.

Naija News recalls that Messi was a hero at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, scoring seven goals to lead his nation to victory and bring home the trophy he had been trying to win his entire career.
