Nevertheless, both clubs are eager to give him a proper farewell in the near future. One of the ways to give a send-off could be match a between Barcelona and Inter Miami in the annual Joan Gamer trophy.
However, Barcelona are currently playing at the city’s Olympic Stadium as Spotify Camp Nou is renovating. The new Camp Nou is due to open in November 2024.
Speaking to MARCA, Jorge Mas said: “Messi’s departure from Barcelona in 2021 was not to his liking. He could not say goodbye to his club, which welcomed him as a child, and I think the circumstances were not what Lionel wanted.
“We will do everything possible in the coming years so that he has the opportunity to say goodbye to his fans in Barcelona. Inter Miami will go there, or we will play some kind of game.”
