Barcelona sporting director Deco has firmly shut down growing speculation about Lionel Messi returning to the club on a short loan from Inter Miami. Speaking on the programme Que t'hi jugues, Deco was very clear that a temporary return is not on the table.
He explained in a post shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account that Messi has a valid contract with Inter Miami and that the idea of a loan was never discussed at board level.
