What will be Messi future club?

One of the biggest soccer stars on the planet will be on the move this summer, as Lionel Messi will be a free agent when his current PSG deal expires. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is reportedly still weighing up his options ahead of making a final decision. But a statement could be released following PSG’s final league match of the season this weekend.

But, who will be Messi future club, and which teams are reportedly in the running based on the latest soccer odds?

PSG have ruled themselves out of extending Messi’s deal in Paris. And the Parisians announced their decision at the start of May. A number of reasons have played a part in their decision. The most notable of those would be Messi’s decision to disobey team orders and fly to Saudi Arabia in early May following a defeat for commercial reasons.

The Argentinean apologized for his mistake after returning to France, but the damage appeared to be done. PSG will also adopt a new strategy in the transfer market this summer. They have promised to bring in younger players with the promise of finally ending their long wait for Champions League success.

Following Messi’s ill-advised trip to Saudi Arabia and later suspension at PSG, the odds on him joining a team in the Saudi Pro League tumbled. A Saudi side to be the Messi future club are now as short as +110. And reports have been circulating in recent days that an agreement has already been reached.

The rumors claim that Messi has signed a deal with Al-Hilal worth a staggering billion dollars. The deal would make him the highest-earning soccer star in the history of the sport. He would join long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the Middle East.

Despite the latest reports claiming that Messi future club has already been determined, the Messi odds indicate that Barcelona could be set to offer the Argentinean a return to the Nou Camp. Messi spent 17 seasons at Barcelona between 2004 and 2021 before departing the club on a free transfer. However, the legendary star has been yearning for a return to La Liga, but a deal remains complex.

Barcelona will be unable to offer a wage in the same stratosphere as what Saudi clubs would be promising. The recently crowned La Liga champions would also need to sell a number of stars to free up wage space to accommodate Messi. A lot will depend on whether Barcelona can offload stars that seemingly don’t want to leave. The Argentinean would also need to take a massive pay cut to force through a move.

A move to the MLS has always been muted as a destination for Messi. That would enable him to further his trademark in the U.S. Recent reports have claimed that a deal could be struck between Barcelona and Inter Miami, with the MLS side signing the Argentinean on a free transfer. Before loaning him to Barcelona on an 18-month loan deal when the La Liga season starts.

Interestingly, this is the only deal that we could see Messi agreeing on to move to the MLS. He certainly wouldn’t pick up the same wages in the U.S. as he would in Saudi Arabia. It remains a long shot, and the odds represent that.

The only other likely destination for Messi would see him reunite with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Guardiola attempted to bring the Argentinean to the Premier League in 2021 before the striker ultimately decided to see out the final year of his deal at the Nou Camp. A move to the Premier League has always been muted, but at this stage of his career, it looks improbable.

City are also among the most popular soccer picks for every competition that they play in. Adding Messi would create issues within the camp. His chance to move to City came in 2021, and the club quickly moved on by bringing in Erling Haaland. It could be hard to see Messi being a guaranteed starter if he was to move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.

The Barcelona/LA Galaxy deal is an interesting one, but it looks too tricky to rank as our top Messi predictions. Therefore, we fully expect the Argentinean ace to agree on a mega-money deal to play in the Saudi Pro League next season, as he becomes the highest-paid soccer player in the history of the sport.
