Rumour Has It: Claims Messi to buy into Inter Miami in 2023

Messi’s
departure
from
Barcelona
to
join
Kylian
Mbappe
and
Neymar
has
not
translated
into
European
silverware
despite
lofty
expectations
in
the
French
capital.

While
the
34-year-old’s
future
at
PSG
might
be
in
doubt,
he
reportedly
appears
to
be
setting
himself
up
for
life
post-football.
