Speculation grows over Lionel Messi's potential return to Newell's Old Boys

Argentinian club Newell's Old Boys has reportedly initiated negotiations with Inter Miami regarding a potential short-term loan for 39-year-old football star Lionel Messi. According to reports from the publication 'Rosario/12', the club's president, Ignacio Boero, is seeking to secure a loan agreement spanning at least six months. The proposed plan suggests that Messi would participate in the Apertura tournament, which begins in late January 2027, before returning to the United States in May.

While Goal News Cy indicates that Messi and his family are considering this prospect, motivated by the MLS schedule and the chance to return to his childhood club, other reports contradict this narrative. A recent statement from the publication 'Reporter' claims that the football star has no current plans to leave his team. According to this source, Messi intends to honor his contract with Inter Miami and remains focused solely on his performance in the United States, with no immediate plans for a transfer back to his homeland.
