Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas breaks silence on whether Lionel Messi will return to play on loan for Barcelona
Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas has confirmed that Lionel Messi won't be returning to Barcelona to play on loan. The Argentina captain was heavily linked with a return to the Blaugrana this summer.
However, Messi eventually decided to join MLS club Inter Miami. Despite moving to the MLS, there have been reports that Messi could return to Barca to play on loan.
Mas, though, doesn't think that's a probability. However, he's keen on arranging a game at the Camp Nou so that Messi can get his proper farewell. He said (via Forbes):
Mas dismissed any chances of Messi playing for his former club. The American billionaire said:
Lionel Messi spent the bulk of his professional career for Barcelona and is widely considered the team's greatest player. He scored 672 goals in 778 games for them.
However, he's now at Inter Miami. Barca president Joan Laporta said that it's strange to see Messi play for the MLS club. (via GOAL):
Despite being a Barca icon, Lionel Messi never got a proper farewell from the club, as his 2021 exit happened unexpectedly. Fans will hope Messi can get his flowers in the near future.
