Messi's decision regarding Inter Miami
Messi has been training with the Argentine national team in recent days. However, before the match against Venezuela, the 38-year-old star and coach Scaloni made the decision that he would miss this game, only returning for the match against Puerto Rico at 6 AM on October 14th.

Messi's decision is related to Inter Miami, as the club is also about to play an important match against Atlanta United FC at 6:30 AM on October 12th in the MLS.
This is the penultimate game of the MLS season, and Inter Miami needs a win to improve their standings or maintain their current third place in the Eastern Conference. A win would give them an advantage in the MLS Cup playoffs for the most important championship of the season, which begin on October 22nd.
Inter Miami has recently experienced significant changes in its squad, which is believed to affect Messi's decision on contract renewal. This includes two star players, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who have both announced their retirement after the end of this season.
Jordi Alba had previously signed a contract extension until the end of 2027, but after Busquets decided to retire, it influenced the veteran defender to change his mind.
Busquets and Alba will still play alongside Messi and Suarez in the remaining matches and in the MLS Cup. Messi and Suarez have not yet signed new contracts.

To persuade these two football legends not to follow in the footsteps of their former Barcelona teammates who were also rumored to be retiring, Inter Miami President David Beckham had to intervene.
Inter Miami are pursuing and are close to finalizing negotiations to sign 28-year-old Spanish defender Sergio Reguilon to replace Alba. Meanwhile, Busquets' position will be officially filled by Rodrigo De Paul (also a close friend of Messi) with a long-term contract effective from the beginning of 2026.
Meanwhile, according to the Spanish newspaper Marca : "David Beckham has made a shocking decision, opening up the possibility for the 'MSN' trio to reunite once again. This involves bringing in Neymar (who has not yet renewed his contract with Santos in Brazil) from the beginning of 2026. This would persuade Messi and Suarez to also renew their contracts, allowing them to play alongside Neymar at Inter Miami for at least one season."
Messi, Suarez, and Neymar, once known as the "MSN" trio during their time at Barcelona, dominated European football, culminating in their Champions League victory in 2015. David Beckham wants to revive this trio, so they can dance "one last dance" together in their careers.
David Beckham's upgrade of Inter Miami is believed to be linked to a fresh start for the club from early 2026 when they unveil their new stadium, Miami Freedom Park. Meanwhile, Messi and Neymar will be playing in their final World Cup of 2026 before retiring alongside Suarez, who may play one more season at Inter Miami alongside his close friends.
