Rumors are swirling that Lionel Messi may leave his current club, Inter Miami, sparking widespread speculation. The Argentine star, who joined the American club in 2023 after leaving France’s PSG, is now rumored to be considering a return to his boyhood club in Argentina.
Messi had previously received a massive offer from Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal but surprised everyone by choosing to sign with David Beckham’s Inter Miami. Since joining, Messi has led the club to the Major League Soccer playoffs and secured the League Cup trophy. However, recent reports suggest that the 37-year-old might part ways with the American club in the future. Interestingly, Messi's potential departure is not linked to a move to Saudi Arabia. Instead, sources say he could return to his childhood club, Newell’s Old Boys, in Argentina.
While this move might not happen immediately, there is speculation that Messi could return to Newell’s by December 2025. In a 2016 interview, Messi expressed his desire to play for Newell’s again, saying, "If I were to go back to Argentina, I would want to play for Newell’s." If Messi does return to his first club, it would feel like a full-circle moment for his legendary career.
