Messi Becomes Free Agent and Can Talk to Other Clubs
Inter Miami star Lionel Messi has officially become a free agent, meaning he can now negotiate with any club of his choice, even though his current deal with the MLS side runs until December 2025. FIFA rules allow players with less than six months left on their contracts to enter talks with other clubs, giving Messi the green light to weigh his options.
This has fueled fresh rumours about a possible exit, with reports claiming that Saudi giants Al Hilal are preparing an official bid to tempt the Argentine legend to the Middle East. Speculation around Messi’s next move is also linked to his plans for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
