Given the elimination of Inter Miami from the MLS, there was talk of a possible return that seems ruled out.

Lionel Messi put an end to his career in Europe after what were those two years in which he did not have a good time at Paris Saint Germain. He precisely chose Inter Miami to play because he knew that there he could find the happiness and tranquility that he had been denied. He actually achieved it but after a few months of success (he won the Leagues Cup), the blow came (he did not qualify for the MLS playoffs due to being injured and will not play until February). Rumors of his return to Barcelona quickly spread.

It should be noted that the Argentine star had put the Blaugrana, the club he loves, as his first option after his departure from PSG. However, the financial situation of the Spanish institution did not allow him to return to the team, or at least that was the excuse given by president Joan Laporta. Now, with the months of inactivity that Leo will have, the rumor resurfaced but everything indicates that they once again undervalued the best player in the world (and for many the greatest of all time).

Far from paying attention to the fans' hopes, Barcelona is choosing to prioritize the arrival of two other players instead of Leo, according to what the El Desmarque site reported. Without a doubt a hard blow for the supporters. Likewise, it is known that the Argentine star had never referred to the possibility of leaving the Florida team, so it is not known if the possibility had actually arisen at some point or if it was just something from the media.

The two players that Barcelona chose instead of Messi's return

Barcelona once again belittled Messi and everything indicates that they did not even make an attempt to sign Leo despite the fact that he does not have official competitions with Inter Miami until February. Instead, the priorities according to El Desmarque are set on signing Vítor Roque, the Brazilian, and Raphinha, a player of the same nationality. Could it be that they put him as more important than Leo or that they already knew that the Florida team would say no?
