In the midst of all the controversies, denials and rumors about the tribute that FC Barcelona plans to make to 'say goodbye' to Lionel Messi once the Spotify Camp Nou is remodeled, Inter Miami has assured that there are no talks for the Argentine return to Barcelona

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Since it celebrated the gala of the Balloon of Gold 2023, where Lionel Messi topped with his eighth recognition and confessed that it wanted to have a farewell 'chord' of the FC Barcelona and his fans, have arisen a lot of rumours on supposed conversations between the entity culé, 'The Flea' and the Inter of Miami to organise the homage of farewell. The own player, through his social networks, denied a meeting with Joan Laporta to tackle said subject and, from his club, also have pronounced .

The team of the Major League Soccer (MLS), where Leo Messi recaló in the last summer, does not have news of the Barça. Although they are the first interested in that it can return to his 'house' and have the farewell that deserves , still there is not at all 'cooking'. The director of businesses of the Inter Miami, Xavier Asensi, has confessed that, although it knew to Joan Laporta and company during his stay in Paris for the gala of France Football, only was a meeting protocolar. In this sense, there is not at all on the table.

In concrete, Ansensi, questioned on his has spoken of the split homage for Messi in Barcelona, has declared in the last hours that Xavier Asensi (director of businesses of the Inter Miami): "The Monday in the morning found me with Laporta [in Paris], greeted it... I saw to workers of the club with which gathered me in my time there, people of protocol, communication, security... But at all more", it sentenced. It closes the door, for the moment.

Option for Barça and Inter in the future

Everything seems to indicate to that it will be a subject that will tackle in the future. Leo Messi wants to go back, the Barça wants to surrender him homage and the Inter also has left the open door to said possibility. In fact, Jorge More, owner of the club, recognised at the beginning of October in an interview to 'The Sportsman of the year' that "I gave him my commitment (to Messi) that I will do all the possible in the next years so that have the opportunity to sack of his fans in Barcelona. It will go the Inter Miami or will do some type of party".

The initial forecast is that it was when it finish the first part of the works of the Camp Nou, in November of 2024, but is so alone a rumour. Everything will depend on the 'timings' of both groups and that it keep the good relation between all. For now, there is not at all discussed and are rumours that have produced after the Barça and Messi coincided in Paris by the gala of the Balloon of Gold, without more. In the future, definitely, the history could change.
