According to FotoMac, "Galatasaray" plans to loan Lionel Messi from "Inter Miami" during the winter break in MLS.
The club hopes to attract the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner to maintain his form ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
According to the source, the Argentine footballer may be interested in the offer, as the loan would provide him with playing time and help him maintain physical fitness before what is likely to be the last tournament of his career.
It is worth noting that in July of this year, Messi signed a contract with "Inter Miami" until 2028. However, the MLS season ends in the fall, and many league players traditionally go on loan to other teams during the winter break. A similar practice was previously employed by David Beckham, who played for "Milan" and "Paris Saint-Germain".
If the deal goes through, it will mark Messi's debut in Turkey and one of the most significant transfers in the history of Turkish football.
As of now, neither "Galatasaray" nor "Inter Miami" have made any official statements regarding this matter.
