Published 2 years ago on Oct 20, 2023

Lionel Messi has dismissed the speculations about him leaving Inter Miami on loan once the Major League Soccer season comes to an end. 

Lionel Messi has squashed the rumors that he will leave Inter Miami on loan this winter

Messi had been linked to short-term loan moves, including one to Saudi Arabia and a possible return to Barcelona, all in an effort to maintain match fitness for upcoming games with the Argentina national team. However, it's now clear that such transfers are off the table. 

Inter Miami failed to secure a spot in the MLS playoffs, although they did pull off a surprising win in the inaugural Leagues Cup. Consequently, their season will conclude after the upcoming game against Charlotte FC on Saturday. 

In response to the situation, Messi stated, 'It's a shame [we didn't qualify]. We came very close. I missed the last few games, we had several injuries. The month of July was very hard for us, we played every three days, we traveled. But we won a tournament, which is important for the club and for what is coming next year.'

Messi went on to confirm his intention to play in Miami's final regular-season contest against Charlotte FC and expressed his commitment to staying in peak physical condition for his upcoming duties with the Argentina national team. 

'I will train, I will play our upcoming match [against Charlotte FC] and I will try to get here [to the national team] in the best possible way for November,' said Messi. 'After that, I will enjoy the holidays in Argentina. It's the first time that I am going to have more days off in December, with the holidays, with peace of mind, with my people. In January, I will return again to do preseason. Start from scratch and prepare as best as possible as always.' 

In November, defending World Cup champion Argentina is set to play a pair of World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil. 

Had Inter Miami made it to the playoffs, Messi could have faced a challenging schedule, especially if the club had made a run to the MLS Cup final. 

Since joining Miami, Messi has recorded one goal and two assists in five MLS regular-season matches (with three starts). Across all competitions for the club, he boasts an impressive tally of 11 goals and eight assists in 13 games.
