After Lionel Messi recently celebrated winning the MLS title with Inter Miami, he bid farewell to two former teammates from his Barcelona days who announced their retirement. In the midst of these farewells, Inter Miami‘s front office have confirmed that four players will not return to the squad next season.

The players departing include Fafa Picault and William Yarbrough, whose contract options were declined, along with Ryan Sailor, who is out of contract. Additionally, Marcelo Weigandt will be leaving as his loan period has expired, according to Inter Miami’s official website. These changes mean Messi will not see these players in Miami’s lineup next season.
