Lionel Messi continues to be a dominant force in the football world in 2025, remaining at the center of speculation and discussion as his career winds down.
While his time at Inter Miami has significantly boosted the club’s profile and performance, questions are growing about what comes next as his contract nears its end in December 2025.
For months, there have been ongoing rumors linking Messi with a return to South America, particularly Argentina. Now, journalist Flavio Azzaro has reported on X that Messi has decided to leave Inter Miami when his deal ends and return to his boyhood club, Newell’s Old Boys.
The potential return has sparked excitement among Newell’s fans, who are hopeful of seeing the legendary forward end his career where it all began. However, such a move is not without challenges—financial limitations and political complications could make the transfer difficult to finalize.
Despite Messi’s apparent desire to come home, Newell’s limited resources make competing with the financial clout of other global clubs a serious hurdle.
Inter Miami currently have no intention of letting Messi go early, and all signs point to him staying until the end of his contract. His influence in the MLS has been monumental, and his eventual departure would signal the close of a game-changing chapter for soccer in the United States.
Meanwhile, fans of Barcelona continue to follow Messi’s career with deep affection, as his legacy remains intertwined with the Catalan giants.
In the months ahead, attention will focus on whether Messi’s dream of returning to Newell’s Old Boys can become a reality despite the obstacles in his way. See full details here
