Despite reports about a potential return to Barcelona, it seems that Lionel Messi's future as a player will be taking place nowhere near Catalunya, as he is ready to set sail to the United States, where his next adventure as a footballer is set to develop.
According to a report by DirecTV, the player will not return to Barcelona for one "last dance" with his beloved Blaugrana side. Instead, he has reportedly chosen to leave Europe to play in the MLS. The team that has been named as Messi's next club is none other than Inter Miami, a team that is currently owned by David Beckham.
What truly stands out is that Messi will not only join Inter Miami as a player. According to the report, the Argentine ace is set to become one of the owners of the team, with "La Pulga" ready to buy 35% of the team's stock.
The report also adds that Messi's return to Barcelona has never been off the table, but if Los Culés really wanted to lure him back to Spain, they should hand in an offer for his services, something that is yet to take place.
Be that as it may, the chances of watching Lionel Messi live have been given a major boost for U.S. fans. Only time will tell when they will get a chance to buy tickets for a Major League Soccer match featuring "La Pulga".
