Return to Barcelona?

Messi scored 672 goals for Barcelona. It was here that he began his career. Current Barca coach Xavi, who has played with Messi, is ready to welcome the Argentine legend back.

Messi is 36 and shifting base to US is not a bad option to play in MLS. David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have taken the same route in the past. Inter Miami is the club where Messi could move, some reports say. While Inter Miami may not afford Messi's high fees but they could offer him a stake in the franchise to lure the striker. (Image source: Instagram)
