FC Barcelona icon Lionel Messi has decided to leave Inter Miami in 2025 according to El Nacional.The Argentine has already chosen his next destination and the club where he will retire after completing arguably the greatest football career of all time.
The 36-year-old threw a curveball at Culers this summer when opting not to return to his former employers of more than 20 years in Barca.Messi was nearing free agency with Paris Saint-Germain at the time. Rather than wait for the Catalans to get their financial house in order, however, the number 10 ventured over the Atlantic to Inter Miami in the MLS where he has proven a roaring success.
He penned a two-season deal which pays him “between $50 and $60 million per year” as explained by Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas to El Pais. Elsewhere, though, there have been reports that Messi will make eyewatering sums in separate arrangements with AppleAAPL and Adidas.Whether this is accurate or not, Messi is once again a free man in 2025.And while his current country of residence the United States will host the World Cup with Mexico and Canada – which Argentina will go into as defending champions – a year later, their leader looks set to head south as opposed to continuing his career on American soil.
