Bayern Munich has the financial means to sign Messi, but it would be an unusual move for them. Any MLS team's value would rise as a result, but Messi's contract would be more valuable to one team than to another in the league. It will be difficult to persuade Messi unless the MLS can find a way to justify such a contract, as they did with Beckham.
Bayern Munich like to buy the finest German players, although they do not spend as much on international players. There aren't many teams in the world with the elite game, Champions League ambitions, and the unlimited funds required to bring Messi in. While teams all around the globe want to sign Messi, he would require a massive salary and is only likely to be a viable signing.
Messi has the option of leaving Barcelona and joining any team he likes. If he goes before his contract expires, as we have stated, the club would save a record transfer cost and the idea of acquiring Messi will become more feasible. Let's take a look at some of the teams that might potentially sign Messi but have yet to do so.
If Messi takes the opportunity to leave current Barcelona team and sign with any club he chooses, he is sure to be followed by some of the world's most prestigious clubs. He may choose to stay at Barcelona or transfer to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain.
If Lionel Messi does not join the MLS after leaving Barcelona, it might be a possibility for him after he retires. Manchester City is still interested in signing Messi, but they have not changed their mind about their contract offer to Barcelona.
On Tuesday, Lionel Messi delivered a bombshell by announcing that he has requested a move from Barcelona, sparking a debate in the football world over where he will end up. Messi's contract with Barcelona expires in early July, leaving the Nou Camp with the impression that he is a free agent and willing to talk to possible suitors. Messi plans to exercise his right to leave the club.
After two decades of rumors and probable transfer demands, Lionel Messi notified FC Barcelona on Tuesday that he wanted to leave the club. While Messi and Barcelona concentrate on their international commitments, supporters continue to speculate about his club's future, with many speculating where he will play next season. Messi's exit from Barcelona, on the other hand, looks to be closer than imagined.
After his four-year, 500 million contract with Barcelona ended at midnight on July 1, Lionel Messi became a free agent. The contract was the richest ever signed by a player in sports history, dwarfing contract offers from major leagues like the NFL, MLB, and NBA. When his Barcelona contract ends at the end of June, no other player in the league will be a free agent.
While Barcelona tried to renew its icon, they were unable to offer Lionel Messi a new contract as large as his massive four-year, 500 million euro contract in Barcelona due to a billion euros in debt, the financial impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, and the laws of financial fair play. Laporta will almost certainly find a way to fit into Barca's budget in order for Messi to stay for a few more years.
Messi's choice to join a new team will be influenced by more than just money. Even among the best players in history, a dissatisfied player has few alternatives.
Messi will not wear a La Liga team's shirt while still at Barcelona unless he wants to follow in the footsteps of Luis Figo and become the club's greatest traitor.
Last summer, PSG emerged as a potential front-runner in the Messi transfer story, and the Argentine superstar's most likely destination would be PSG. Pep Guardiola, with whom Messi spent his prime years at Barcelona, may be enticed by a team with the financial wherewithal to pay him. PSG is one of the most likely destinations for Messi, since that will allow him to reunite with his former team-mate Neymar.
German Burgo, the current coach of the Argentine team, confirmed as much in March, suggesting that a future comeback was feasible. Although a transfer to the MLS next season is doubtful, Messi is at the pinnacle of his abilities right now. Messi spent his childhood career at the club, and the club will always hold a special place in his heart.
