Lionel Messi is not planning a return to his boyhood club Newell's Old Boys and instead intends to remain with Inter Miami until 2028, according to a report from Football Muse published on October 30, 2026.
The Argentine World Cup winner joined the Major League Soccer side in 2023 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. Speculation had periodically linked him with a sentimental move back to the Rosario-based club where he began his youth career.
The report indicates Messi's current focus is on fulfilling his contract with the MLS franchise, which would keep him in South Florida through the 2028 season.
