Reports state that Lionel Messi has decided against a winter transfer.

The Inter Miami player has been connected to a loan move to either a Saudi Arabian club or Barcelona.

With just two games remaining against Charlotte this season, the David Beckham-owned team is expected to miss out on the playoffs as the Major League Soccer season comes to an end.

There was talk that Messi may move on loan to be busy until the 2024 season starts in February.

However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano asserts that he has no intention of switching teams.

According to reports, he is totally focused on Argentina and Inter Miami.

In the following two months, his country’s team will compete in 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and fierce rivals, Paraguay.

The preseason for Inter Miami is scheduled to start in January, although Messi may participate in exhibition matches with the team when they travel to Asia in November.

After that, he is anticipated to take a month-long vacation.

Despite their financial difficulties, Barcelona is rumored to have been receptive to bringing the 36-year-old superstar back.

Over the summer, Messi turned down a £350 million contract from Al-Hilal.

Instead, they signed Neymar, his former teammate at Barcelona.
