After the match against Australia, which Lionel Scaloni assured that he will play in its entirety, Leo will take a flight from Beijing that will make a stopover in Barcelona and then arrive in Rosario, where he will begin his days off with his entire family, with whom he would celebrate his 36th birthday on June 24..

And, although the event has not yet been made official, it seems that he also received a call from Juan Román Riquelme to be at La Bombonera for his respective farewell meetingwhich would take place a day later, on June 25.
After recovering energy with his entire family, at the end of the month of June, and his contract with PSG, Leo will leave his hometown and fly directly to the United States to stamp his signature with David Beckham’s team for a total of 3 years.
The disappointment of Indonesian citizens
The furor for Messi in Asia is total.

But after confirming that Leo will not travel to Indonesia to play the second match of this tour against the federation of that country, thousands of Rosario fans who wanted to see him were disappointed.
Given this, one of the many followers of the former Barcelona decided to record himself while he sang a song in which he explicitly asked Messi not to abandon the concentration. “Please come to Indonesia, we are waiting for you”, begins the song that is sung in English.
Leo’s possible debut at Inter Miami
According to the different media in the North American and European country, Messi could wear the Inter Miami shirt for the first time on July 21 against a Mexican rival: Cruz Azul, for the Leagues Cup, as a local. Faced with this possibility, the tickets for the DRV PNK Stadium, with a capacity for 18 thousand spectators, have already been completely sold out.
Leo would be presented to his new club on July 1 and would miss four games since his arrival: the same day of his presentation against Sebastián Driussi’s Austin FC, three days later against the Columbus Crew, on July 8 against DC United and on the 15th against Saint Louis City.
