WHAT’S HAPPENING? Messi’s current contract with PSG ends in the summer of 2023 and there is much speculation about what his next move may be, including a possible return to Barcelona. However, it looks like Messi could be MLS bound, with The Times reporting that Messi is close to agreeing a record-breaking deal to take him to Inter Miami.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The deal would see him become the highest-paid player in the league’s history, with Messi set to surpass the $8.15 million a year contract that ex-Stoke attacker Xherdan Shaqiri signed with Chicago Fire. His arrival in America would mark another significant step forward for MLS as they continue to try and establish a standing among the best leagues in the world.

AND WHAT’S MORE: The Times have reported that a deal may be made easier as the Florida-based outfit also look to sign Messi’s long-term friends Cesc Fabregas and Luis Suarez. Both players worked alongside Messi during his time at Barcelona.

WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI? As expected Messi is playing a huge part in Argentina’s hunt for World Cup success. On Saturday, he scored the vitally important opener as La Albiceleste beat Mexico 2-0 to keep their hopes of progressing from Group C alive. A crunch match against Poland is on the horizon, with Argentina and Messi knowing that a win will see them advance to the knockout stages.
