Barcelona and Inter Miami, led by David Beckham, have reportedly devised a daring plan to lure Lionel Messi away from a potential move to the Middle East this summer.

As Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in a few weeks, he is expected to leave the French club.

There have been tempting offers from Saudi Arabia, with reports suggesting that Jorge Messi, Lionel’s father, has accepted a £1.2 billion offer from Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club. This deal would potentially double Cristiano Ronaldo’s salary in the Middle East and see Messi join rival club Al Nassr.

However, Barcelona is determined to bring their star player back to the Camp Nou, and Messi himself is reportedly keen to return to Catalonia.

In an intriguing twist, Barcelona and Inter Miami are rumored to be working together to create a deal that would allow Messi to reject offers from the Middle East.

According to French newspaper L’Equipe, the proposed agreement involves Messi signing for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS) before being loaned back to Barcelona for either six or 18 months.

This arrangement would allow Messi to return to action during the twilight phase of his career, potentially combining playing in the US with intermittent spells in Spain.

The plan, if successful, would provide Barcelona with an opportunity to reestablish their connection with Messi while allowing him to experience a new challenge in the MLS.

It would also offer Inter Miami a chance to acquire one of the greatest footballers of all time, elevating the profile of the club and the league as a whole.

While this plan remains speculative at this stage, the possibility of Messi reuniting with Barcelona, alongside the involvement of David Beckham’s Inter Miami, adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing transfer saga surrounding the Argentine superstar.

Football fans worldwide eagerly await further developments and the ultimate decision regarding Messi’s future destination.
