Barcelona and Al-Hilal are already missing out on signing their top target Lionel Messi this summer.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Argentine could instead sign for United States of America’s Major League Soccer side Inter Miami.
Messi’s move to Barcelona has been delayed despite talks between the player’s father, Jorge, and Barca President Joan Laporta regarding a sensational return to the Camp Nou.
Barcelona must lower their current wage bill before making an offer for the player but are keen on bringing Lionel Messi back to the club.
Jorge Messi has already stated they are likely to make a decision in the next 48 hours so this could spell trouble for Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami have made significant progress in their talks with Lionel Messi’s camp and are the frontrunners, according to journalist Veronica Brunati.
Another journalist, Sebastian Quadrelli, also claims that the Miami-based club have everything in place regarding their offer and are expecting an ‘OK’ from the player’s camp later this week.
Quadrelli added that the possibility of a potential move to Saudi Arabia has diminished, while Messi’s camp have reservations about returning to Barcelona given the nature of his exit two years ago.
