Inter Miami are willing to offer Lionel Messi an equity stake in the club to convince him to join this summer, although the player's preference is to stay in Europe until the 2024 Copa America in order to try and win the Champions League one last time. The question is whether that is still at Paris Saint-Germain or another suitable offer presents itself, since the Barcelona hierarchy have so far not even contacted the 35-year-old about a move.
Messi has the option of a one-year contract extension with the French champions on exactly the same financial terms but is currently holding off until he gets concrete answers about the project for next season. PSG are still unable to tell the player’s camp who the manager will be or what the forward line will look like, amid expectation they will have to offload players to meet Financial Fair Play concerns. Messi has told the club he will make his decision once he has assurances on these issues.
