As a result of Inter Miami’s elimination from the play-off stage in the Major League Soccer (MLS), several clubs in Saudi Arabia are considering signing Lionel Messi to a loan agreement for a period of six months.

As of right present, Lionel Messi is not participating in any games because Inter Miami will not be competing for the next four months. A number of Saudi Arabian teams have discussed the possibility of bringing the formerly great player for Barcelona back to the sport on loan.

The season-ending match for Inter Miami will be played against Charlotte FC. Following that, Messi won’t be available again until the month of February is over. It is not the first time that a player has spent the off-season playing in the United States on loan from another team.

Prior to that, David Beckham signed with AC Milan even though he was still playing for LA Galaxy. While he was still playing for the New York Red Bulls, Thierry Henry also signed a loan contract with Arsenal for a period of two months.

Gerardo Martino, the coach of Inter Miami, was asked about the potential of Lionel Messi returning to Barca on loan. He instantly dismissed this concept and claimed that Messi could visit Barcelona, but he would not return to play for the club. Martino added that Messi might visit Barcelona.
