WHAT HAPPENED?<\/strong>\u00a0Messi will become a free agent when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain officially expires on June 30,\u00a0with the club having confirmed his departure\u00a0before their final game of the Ligue 1 season. Speculation over the 35-year-old’s next move has intensified since then, with\u00a0Barcelona publicly stepping up their attempts\u00a0to bring him back to Camp Nou. Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have also been pushing hard to sign Messi in recent months, but\u00a0Guillem Balague<\/em>\u00a0has now revealed that he will be embarking on the next stage of his career in America.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

THE BIGGER PICTURE:<\/strong> Inter Miami have won the race to sign Messi with the help of commercial partners Apple and Adidas.\u00a0The Athletic<\/em> has reported that the World Cup winner is set for a share of the revenue from Apple TV+’s MLS Season Pass, while Adidas have offered him a profit-sharing agreement to strengthen their long-term relationship.<\/p>\n

AND WHAT’S MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Messi’s father admitted earlier this week that\u00a0his son favoured a return to Barcelona, but their precarious financial situation ultimately made a final deal impossible. Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba have all left the club since the turn of the year, but Barca still need to reduce their wage bill significantly before they will be able able to register any new players.<\/p>\n

Al-Hilal, meanwhile, will have to wait until at least 2024 before reigniting their interest in Messi, with GOAL having revealed that the forward asked to delay a potential move\u00a0to the Middle East while assessing his options after leaving PSG.<\/p>\n
