As of now, no confirmation or denial has been issued by Messi regarding his presence.
“Messi is a key player for us, but his health and well-being come before any commitment. If he is not 100%, we will prefer to give him some rest. We must ensure the well-being of the players. This tour will be different from last year, allowing players to enjoy real summer preparation,” said Jorge Mas, owner of Inter Miami.

Furthermore, Javier Mascherano, the team’s coach, emphasized: “We are evaluating the squad and will make the most appropriate decision for both the player and the team. Messi always wants to be on the pitch, but we must act with responsibility. Our main objective is to get the squad in shape, both physically and tactically. When players stop training and come back from vacation, they lose their shape. »
