After Argentina's defeat against Uruguay, discussions began about Lionel Messi's performance, because, although he was not the worst on the field nor did he play a terrible game, the reality is that he did not perform as we are accustomed to. However, this has a simple explanation.

It all has to do with Inter Miami, since David Beckham's club did not qualify for the Major League Soccer playoffs and therefore, Lionel Messi and the rest of the players have been on vacation for more than a month. Lionel Messi has never gone so long without games, and it has been noticed in his level that it is affecting him.

The worst thing is that Inter Miami's next official match will be in about 4 months, so Messi will not be able to improve his level, since there will be no matches! Given this situation, the chance arose that Messi could go out on loan for 6 months to some team... but there is only one that could be a realistic option, and it is neither Barcelona nor Manchester City.

Which team is it?

This is naturally Al Hilal, a team from Saudi Arabia that has already tried to sign Messi on two occasions, offering a salary of up to 400 million euros per season. Lionel Messi could only join this team as long as he wants to keep his $54 million salary per season, well, the rest of the teams could not pay him that.
