As his time with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) draws to a close, it is being reported that Major League Soccer (MLS) is preparing a one-of-a-kind offer for Lionel Messi’s contract. There has been widespread interest in signing the former Barcelona superstar, whose PSG contract ends this summer.
According to recent SPORT reports, Barcelona has been heavily linked with a return of Messi, but the Blaugranas have yet to make a formal offer for the Argentine. PSG is the only team that has made an offer to the player, according to the report, while MLS is working on a unique offer.
Any club in Major League Soccer (MLS) cannot handle all of Messi’s wages due to the salary cap in place. That’s why they’re coming up with a new strategy to get him to come to the United States. If the player decides to join the league, it was decided at a recent meeting that all MLS clubs would handle the player’s salary together.
Messi will be able to choose which club he wants to represent thanks to the offer, and each club will pay a portion of his wages. The player has been linked to Inter Miami thus far. With the upcoming North American World Cup in 2026,
the MLS is said to be eager to substantially enhance its tournament profile. A significant step in that direction would be to sign Messi.
Xavi, the manager of Barcelona, makes room for Lionel Messi, a former teammate :
After his contract was not renewed, Lionel Messi abruptly left Barcelona and signed a free transfer to PSG during the 2020 summer transfer window. He signed a contract with the Parisians for two years, which is about to run out.
Despite the fact that the aforementioned report asserts that the Blaugrana have not yet made an offer, the manager of the club, Xavi, has left the possibility of Messi’s return open. In a press conference in February of this year, the Spaniard stated,
“I’ve already said that this is his home and the doors are open to him, he’s a friend, and we’re in constant contact.” “It will be determined by him and his plans for the future. There is no doubt that this is his home. The best footballer in history would constantly fit in,” he added.
