Despite his extension at Inter Miami until 2028, Lionel Messi dreams of discovering the Argentine championship before the end of his career. His wish will perhaps be granted since the club of his childhood will try to get him back.
The hypothesis seemed complicated after its extension until 2028 last October. But the Inter Miami attacking midfielder still has an opening. Newell’s Old Boys, the club of his childhood, actually wants to get him back at the start of 2027. The timing is not trivial since it corresponds to the change in Major League Soccer’s agenda. While it is played over the calendar year, the American championship will be modeled on the European calendar, thus leaving the eight-time Ballon d’Or without competition between January and August 2027.
Newell’s vice-president Juan Manuel Medina necessarily sees this as an opportunity. “ We are working towards Leo playing for Newell’s in the first half of 2027revealed the leader on the TN channel. But for now there is nothing more to say. This is a project that goes beyond Newell’s. It is a project for the city of Rosario, the province and Argentine football. It all depends on what we can offer in terms of infrastructure and a competitive sports program. A six-month loan? There were discussions, the idea was raised, but today no decision has been made. » Exchanges should continue in the coming months.
