Despite his unending love for Barcelona and his contract with Inter Miami nearing its end, a return to Barcelona still seems out of reach for Messi.

Messi will also be expected to make an appearance with Inter Miami at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, meaning a possible move to the Blaugrana would have to wait until January 2026, when his contract expires.
At that point, Messi will be on his way to his 39th birthday and still has a promise to boyhood club Newell’s Old Boy in Argentina to keep, making a move to Barcelona unlikely.
