Amid the rumors, Laporta's decision on Messi's loan to FC Barcelona

Rumors of a possible loan arrival of Lionel Messi to Barcelona increase as the hours go by. Inter Miami's defeat against Cincinnati on Saturday night left them with no chance of qualifying for the MLS Playoffs and now Leo would face a long inactivity that could be counteracted with a loan to a club in Europe, as he already had. The founder of the pink franchise himself, David Beckham, or Thierry Henry, did in the past.

As it could not be otherwise, the main team targeted to receive Messi is FC Barcelona. The captain of the Argentine National Team wanted to return there when he was released from PSG, but the offer from the Spanish club never came because they had to resolve financial problems, as well as receive La Liga's approval of the economic plan presented to comply with financial fair play. All of these factors took a long time, the proposal was not sent and Lionel chose to continue his career in the MLS, away from the pressures of European football.

Now, three months after his arrival in the United States, the newspaper Sport raised the possibility of a return of the greatest winner of the Ballon d'Or to the club of his loves and the rumor began to gain strength until in the last few hours the portal Catalunya's 'El Nacional' stated that Joan Laporta made the decision to work on Messi's return on loan in January. Thus, what seemed to be an isolated possibility would now have received the approval of the Barça boss and it is expected that there will be news as the days go by.

Martino did not find out about the rumors

Gerardo was asked about it in the post-defeat press conference with Cincinnati and responded: “It will be for a walk… this surprises me. If you tell me that you are going to visit Barcelona on vacation, it is likely”. The truth is that Messi still has a lot of affection for the Catalan club and it would not be strange if he welcomed the possibility of returning, especially thinking about not losing competitive rhythm.
