David Beckham, owner of Inter Miami, has revealed Lionel Messi’s plans for his retirement. According to the Brit, ‘Leo’ will return to Barcelona<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The future of Lionel Messi<\/strong> will be one of the hot topics of the upcoming transfer market. Inter Miami<\/strong> is facing a season that promises to be historic for the club as they will compete in the first Club World Cup under its new format<\/a>, but the shadow of the Argentine’s contractual situation looms over them.<\/p>

The commitment of the eight-time Ballon d’Or<\/strong> winner expires at the end of the season, and the management of The Herons, led by Jorge Mas<\/strong> and David Beckham<\/strong>, will do everything possible to retain him for at least one more year. A highly probable scenario, as everything indicates that the ’10’ intends to arrive in the best possible shape for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>

Amid this ‘soap opera’, the former English midfielder attended the Economic Forum and was asked about the future of the Rosario native in Florida and his retirement plans, which seem to be with the ‘Herons’. The Mancunian held nothing back and made a confession that excites all Barcelona fans<\/strong>.<\/p>

Messi’s future is in Barcelona<\/h3>

According to Beckham<\/strong>, Messi<\/strong> does not envision a life in the United States and his main desire is to return to Barcelona<\/strong> once he finishes his legendary career. “I would like Leo to live in Miami when he retires, but Leo has told me that he only thinks about living near Camp Nou<\/strong>“, explained the Brit.<\/p>

“You can see the Bar\u00e7a crest on his leg and even on his water bottle”<\/p> <\/blockquote>

According to David<\/strong>, there is no sports love as great as the one the Argentine feels for FC Barcelona<\/strong>. “No player loves Barcelona as much as he does<\/strong>. You can see the Bar\u00e7a crest on his leg and even on his water bottle,” stated the executive.<\/p>

These words align with what Lionel<\/strong> said during the 125th anniversary of the club, where he sent a message to all the culers stating, “I miss you all so much. I hope we can see each other again soon<\/strong> and that you feel proud to be part of the best club in the world.” Thus, it is quite clear that the future of the historic ’10’ only lies in the Catalan capital.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
