After having communicated to Paris Saint Germain his intentions not to renew his contract in June, the future of lionel messi became a topic of permanent debate in the world of football. With Barcelona and Al Hilal As the main stakeholders, versions emerged from France indicating a total agreement with the Arab club. However, the representation of the footballer was in charge of denying these rumors with a forceful official statement: “There is absolutely nothing with any club.”
The statement -which was replicated by the representation of the player and his father, Jorge Messi- ensures that there is no agreement with any of the aforementioned clubs, at the same time that condemns the versions and confirms that La Pulga will make a decision regarding its future once its participation in Ligue 1 ends.
“There is absolutely nothing with any club for next year. The decision will never be made before Lionel ends the league with PSG. Once the season is over, it will be time to analyze and see what there is, and then make a decision,” reads the beginning of the statement issued through social networks.
Likewise, the message also condemns the versions that emerged from France that indicated a total agreement with Al Hilal: “There are always rumors and many use the name of Lionel to gain notoriety but the truth is only one and we can assure that there is nothing with anyone” .
“Neither verbal, nor signed, nor agreed and there will not be until the end of the season. It seems to me a lack of respect towards the media where they respond, that there are those who consciously and deliberately deceive, without providing any proof of their statements and wanting to turn any malicious rumor into news or that is directed by someone in favor of their interests. They would have to explain why they don’t contrast the information… They don’t want a truth to ruin their ‘news,'” he added.
At the moment, The options that Lionel Messi has on the table are three: Barcelona, Al Hilal and Inter Miami. Among them, the idea of remaining in Europe and returning to the blaugrana is the one that prevails in the player’s mind. In any case, his return to Spain does not depend on him, but on the club getting La Liga to approve his feasibility plan and thus be able to make him an offer.

Al Hilal, for his part, got into the conversation for being the only team that put an offer on the table: around 400 million euros per year. In any case, unlike the versions that emerged from France, La Pulga did not close anything with the Arab club and would prefer to stay in Europe.
Finally, Inter Miami is a club that has always been linked to the future of Messi. With David Beckham at the helm, the MLS team tried to seduce him several times without success. The truth is that the man from Rosario has several businesses in the United States and that could make him decide to settle in Miami, but in any case, the MLS does not seem to be a viable option for now.
