Messi May Leave Inter Miami Before 2026 World Cup
Lionel Messi could be set to leave Inter Miami before the 2026 World Cup kicks off. This comes after Miami’s heavy 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup round of 16, raising fresh questions about Messi’s future with the MLS side.
The 38-year-old’s current deal with Miami is due to expire at the end of 2025. Though there’s an option to extend it for another year, that clause hasn’t been activated yet. Reports suggest Messi has paused talks over a new contract. According to Argentine journalist Esteban Edul, the World Cup winner is considering his next move carefully and may not extend his stay in Miami.
Sources close to the player say Messi is eager to spend the final stretch of his career in a more competitive league, especially with the 2026 World Cup just around the corner. The Argentina captain is said to be focused on staying in top form as his country prepares to defend their title when the tournament kicks off in North America.
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.”
