Overview

  • Turkish media reports say Galatasaray is exploring a loan for Lionel Messi of up to four months during the MLS off-season.
  • The reported proposal would see the Istanbul club cover Messi’s full wages, pay compensation to Inter Miami, and include injury protections.
  • Inter Miami has Messi under contract through 2028, which makes a permanent move unlikely but does not rule out short loans with club approval.
  • Bolavip, citing journalist Fernando Czyz, reports that Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Benfica made approaches for a winter loan and that Inter Miami declined them.
  • The timeline aligns with MLS’s long winter break and mirrors past short-term European stints by MLS stars such as David Beckham and Thierry Henry.
