Leo Messi remains the center of attention in every transfer window. His name never stops being mentioned in Barcelona, where the hope of seeing him again in the blaugrana jersey is still alive among the most optimistic fans. Speculation about a "last dance" at Camp Nou has resurfaced in recent weeks, fueled by hints from the culé circle itself.
Hansi Flick, newly arrived on the bench, hasn't completely closed the door on a hypothetical return of the Argentine. Although the board, led by Joan Laporta and Deco, are working on other fronts, it can't be denied that Messi still holds a special place in blaugrana hearts. However, after a long time, everything seems to indicate that reality is heading in a different direction and that Leo Messi already has a final decision.
They prepare a historic contract
According to sources close to the matter, Messi's circle is already negotiating the renewal of his contract with Inter Miami, and this isn't just any agreement. The MLS club wants to offer him the best contract in the history of American soccer, a project that goes beyond the sporting aspect.
In Barcelona, they accept it: the return won't become a reality. Messi is happy in the United States, where he has found an ideal environment to enjoy the final stage of his career without the media pressure of Europe's elite.
Inter Miami isn't just looking to keep him for his performance on the field, but also for the global impact he has caused since his arrival. Messi's presence has multiplied audiences, international interest, and MLS merchandising sales. He has become a pillar for the league's development.
The new contract includes extraordinary income from advertising, television rights, and commercial agreements, as well as possible participation in the club's strategic decisions. It's an innovative model that reinforces his role as a soccer ambassador in North America.
Barcelona already knows
Although Laporta tried to bring him back in the past, Barça has already turned the page. The sporting management is aware that Messi wants to avoid the intensity of the European elite and prioritizes a more relaxed context. The focus is now on building a competitive team with other stars.
Nevertheless, the bond between Messi and the culé fans will be eternal. His story at Barça doesn't need an extra chapter to remain legendary. Meanwhile, the Argentine continues making history in American soccer, consolidating his legacy both on and off the field.
