However, the 36-year-old has already plotted his next destination once he leaves US soil.
According to Catalan outlet El Nacional, Messi will head home to Argentina to link up with boyhood club Newell’s Old Boys.
Newell’s were the first team Messi joined at the age of six, spending five years at the club before Barcelona took him under their wing.
This being said, Messi first plans to honour the contract he signed with David Beckham‘s franchise.
That means the move is not expected to happen until 2025 when his contract expires.
The report also indicates the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will hang up his boots at Newell’s.
Back in 2018 Messi revealed his desire to return to his boyhood club, saying: “Every time I’m more clear that in Europe, Barcelona will be my only place.
“In Argentina I would like to play six months or some games in Newell’s.

“When I was little I had a dream to play in the Colossus. I was left with the thorn of playing on Newell’s court.
“I have a family and my children come first, and then me. I want them to grow up in a calm place, being able to enjoy life with security.”
He has made brief return’s over the years, including an appearance at the testimonial of former team-mate Maxi Rodriguez in June.
After originally leaving the team he supported, Messi as gone on to become arguably the greatest football player of all time, with an endless list of accolades including the World Cup.
Messi has scored 11 goals and added five assists in 12 games with Inter Miami so far.
