In a shocking development, reports from Diario Sport suggest that Lionel Messi could make a loan return to Barcelona if his current club, Inter Miami, fail to secure a spot in the MLS playoffs.

While no official deal has been discussed between the two sides yet, the possibility of Messi donning the Blaugrana colors once again has set the football world abuzz.

The loan move is speculated to commence in January, allowing Messi to take advantage of the MLS offseason, a strategy previously utilized by football icons like David Beckham and Thierry Henry. Beckham had a stint with Milan, while Henry made a temporary return to Arsenal during their respective MLS breaks.

As fans eagerly await further developments, the prospect of Messi’s potential reunion with Barcelona adds an intriguing twist to the upcoming transfer window and ignites nostalgic hopes for a magical reunion at Camp Nou.
