It has been over a span of two months since Lionel Messi made the decision to transition to the Major League Soccer (MLS) by affiliating himself with Inter Miami.
The victor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup was presented with the chance to rejoin Barcelona during the summer period subsequent to the expiration of his contract with PSG. Several teams in Saudi Arabia expressed their willingness to provide substantial remuneration in order to attract him to the Middle East.
Ultimately, though, the individual who has been awarded the Ballon d’Or on seven occasions made the decision to go to the United States, where he is now experiencing a great deal of satisfaction and contentment.
The exalted football player from Barcelona engaged in a noteworthy exchange with Migue Granados, wherein he divulged several insights pertaining to his choice to go to the United States, his forthcoming prospects, and his familial circumstances, among other topics.

There are individuals who have been acquainted with me for an extended duration and possess a comprehensive understanding of my character and experiences.

After an extended period of time in a professional occupation, adopting a fresh perspective and deriving pleasure from it may be transformative.
I have a sense of contentment living in Miami, and this sentiment is evident in my demeanor and behavior. According to the speaker, there exists a certain juncture when the atmosphere becomes more laid-back.
Lionel Messi achieved victory in the FIFA World Cup during his tenure at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), triumphing with his Argentine national team by defeating France in the finals. This outcome seemed to provoke dissatisfaction among Parisian supporters.
Regarding this matter, the individual, who is 36 years of age, expressed: “Despite my lack of success in Paris, I achieved the status of a World champion during my time there.” The occurrence of events is driven by underlying causes or factors. The perception arose that our actions were responsible for France’s failure to secure the championship once again. I was the only participant who did not get acknowledgment, albeit it is of little significant consequence.
In spite of the challenges pertaining to the PSG supporters and speculations around internal discord within the team, Messi said that he has never had any difficulties with Kylian Mbappe.
Kylian’s situation was really favorable. The individual, aged 36, said that they had a really positive interpersonal connection.
Regarding the subject of his future subsequent to the conclusion of his tenure at Inter Miami, Messi expressed his reluctance to contemplate it. I want to get maximum enjoyment from my experiences. My greatest preference is in engaging in the sport of football.
When queried about the potentiality of resuming his football career in Argentina, the ex-captain of Barcelona refrained from categorically dismissing the notion, expressing:
The notion of deriving pleasure from Argentine football, namely the prospect of representing Newell’s, and even more significantly, attaining the status of a World champion, has always been present.
The Argentine individual also expressed his desire to assume the role of a sports director upon his retirement, articulating his uncertainty over the appropriate starting point for pursuing this career path.

Messi’s recent victory at the World Cup has significantly bolstered his candidacy for another Ballon d’Or award, perhaps marking his eighth overall. Regarding the potential attainment of the prestigious golden orb, he expressed the following sentiment:
The Ballon d’Or is a prestigious accolade, although I have been lucky to achieve success in many aspects of the sport of football. The aforementioned events include the Champions League, league crowns, Copa America, and the World Cup, among others. These honors have more significance and importance.
All of my possessions are located in Barcelona, namely within the museum. He disclosed his aspirations to win prestigious accolades such as the Ballon d’Or and the golden boot.
Regarding the forthcoming Copa America tournament scheduled for the next year and the potential participation in the FIFA World Cup in 2026 to be held in the United States, Messi expressed his thoughts as follows:
I am now not contemplating the forthcoming World Cup since it is a considerable amount of time away. Regarding the forthcoming Copa America, indeed. The forecast indicates that the weather conditions will be pleasant. Subsequently, the subsequent course of action will be contingent upon my own state or condition. Over the course of time, it is necessary to assess my emotional state, which will be observed on a daily basis.
I am disinclined to contemplate the post-eventualities. I want to get maximum enjoyment from the activity, with a particular affinity for engaging in play.
