Galatasaray are reportedly considering making a loan offer for the Argentinian, who could maintain fitness in Istanbul during the MLS off-season
About two weeks ago, Lionel Messi signed a new three-year deal with Inter Miami, making it clear that he has no intention of leaving the Florida side. However, he could temporarily join another team, regardless - and no other than Galatasaray!
According to the Spanish Mundo Deportivo, the Istanbul side is keen on the Argentinian and willing to offer him a four-month loan deal during the MLS off-season.

Inter Miami are currently facing Nashville in the playoffs of the US top flight, and the series is tied (1-1). However, even if his crew reached the grand final, Messi's season would end at the beginning of December, and the new edition wouldn't start before March 2026.
So, his eventual move to Galatasaray could be a win-win situation. The 38-year-old would represent a gigantic reinforcement for the Turkish side in their Champions League campaign, while he'd get a chance to stay fit during the MLS break.
And even though the eventual deal is still a long shot, no one can forbid the Turks to dream big. After all, just imagine the tandem of Messi and Victor Osimhen, and you'll understand everything.
