Messi can only join Galatasaray for home games

Another interesting news about the famous Argentine footballer Lionel Messi is spreading. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the information, he may return to Europe for a short period and join Turkey's Galatasaray club. Turkish media interpret this not as a simple transfer, but as a special project planned until the end of the season.

According to reports, the 38-year-old footballer may accept this offer only on one condition. He wants to participate only in home games held in Istanbul and does not want to travel for away matches.

If this plan is realized, Messi could play in about 12 matches. The reasons for such a condition are also understandable.

He is getting older, and long trips and matches increase the risk of fatigue and injury. The Turkish press links this decision to Messi's desire to take care of himself in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

That is, Messi plans to participate only in home games to preserve his health. However, there is an important issue in this regard.

The American club Inter Miami has officially announced that it has extended Messi's contract until 2028. Therefore, even if these reports are true, Messi will not fully transfer to Galatasaray but may play on a short-term loan basis.

So far, there is no official confirmation about this, so the news should be taken with caution. At the same time, sometimes the most unexpected scenarios can happen in football.

If Messi really plays only in home games in Istanbul, this event will be remembered as one of the most unusual events in football history. Source: One.uz
