Lionel Messi, who has a contract with Inter Miami until December 2025, is reportedly considering leaving the United States to play, for the first time, in South American football. The information comes from the German newspaper Bild, and surprised the world of football, including Brazil, where clubs like Mengão, Corinthians and Palmeiras usually make large investments in renowned players.

However, despite the interest that could emerging from Brazilian giants, Messi's desire would be to return to Argentina to defend Newell's Old Boys, his formative club. The star left the Argentine team at the age of 13 to join the Barcelona academy, where he built a historic career, winning 10 La Liga titles, four UEFA Champions Leagues and three FIFA Club World Cups.


SUCCESS STORY IN EUROPE

After a long and successful spell at Barcelona, ​​Messi transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021, where he played alongside Neymar and Mbappé. However, despite expectations, the Parisian team failed to achieve major continental achievements during their stay. At the end of his contract with PSG, Messi decided to try North American football, playing in Major League Soccer (MLS) for Inter Miami, David Beckham's club.


Now, at 37 years old, the Argentine is studying a return to South American football, with the intention of playing in the Copa Libertadores. This move would mark a new chapter in his career, this time closer to his home country and his first fans.

Furthermore, in 2011, Mais Querido convinced Milan to release Ronaldinho Gaúcho, also voted the best player in the world twice in the 2000s. Messi, with his vast experience and achievements, would certainly attract the interest of any major South American club , including Mengão.
