Lionel Messi has reportedly expressed his intention to return to Barcelona after his contract with Inter Miami ends in 2025. Family friend Yanina Latorre revealed that the Argentine icon dismissed the idea of extending his stay in Miami.

With the 37-year-old's long-term future up in the air, the prospect of a return to Argentina to see out his career has been suggested as a possibility, but journalist Yanina Latorre has been told that Europe is a more likely destination when he leaves Florida.

As much as the Manchester United legend and Inter Miami co-owner wants Messi to stay in Miami, a return to Barcelona seems inevitable.
