Lionel Messi transfer decision might derail Inter Miami plans as Barcelona circle

Inter Miami may miss out on signing Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets this summer should the Paris Saint-Germain star opt for a return to Barcelona.

The Major League Soccer side's interest in signing Messi is well-documented, with this summer seeming an opportune moment with the forward winning the World Cup with Argentina and perhaps now finally ready to move away from Europe. He has just months remaining on his PSG contract and could become a free agent in July, which would further help facilitate a move.

It is an open secret about the franchise's interest in former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets, which appears to be reciprocated by the player. But recent reports suggest the two could reunite back Spain rather than on South Beach.
