fantasy? Every analysis of Messi’s return to Barcelona: 6-month loan before the World Cup, terms of Barcelona call-up

Messi posted a photo of his night visit to Camp Nou on social media yesterday, sparking heated discussions in the football world. The Spanish media "Daily Sports" also published an article at this time analyzing the possibility of Messi returning to Barcelona.

The next MLS season will not start until mid-to-late February, so if Messi continues to stay in Miami, he will have no official games to play for two months. After the end of this season, Messi can take advantage of a special rule of the American League to join a European club on loan between seasons. Henry and Beckham have both done this. But in addition to free agents, La Liga's registration window will not open until January, which will complicate the operation of this path, because then he will only be able to play for Barcelona for more than a month.

The most "reasonable" way to achieve the last dance may be to complete a six-month loan before the World Cup. However, it needs to be considered whether it complies with La Liga's financial fair play policy, and whether Inter Miami thinks this move is cost-effective - the team plans to compete for the first CONCACAF Champions League title in team history during this period. This plan will also allow Messi to prepare for the World Cup in his best condition and build up momentum for Argentina's fourth star.

Last possibility: Is there a "Barcelona call clause" in his contract that allows him to terminate the contract when Barcelona issues an invitation? This is not entirely impossible. When he landed in the United States in 2023, a much-anticipated return to Barcelona was on the table, and the player has always regarded Barcelona as his home.
