The trifecta known as MSN at FC Barcelona played some brilliant soccer, with the goal-scoring touch of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luis Suarez</a>, the flair of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a>, and the magic of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>. It was Neymar who left Barcelona to go it alone at PSG; eventually, all three would find different paths.&nbsp;



Today, Messi and Suarez are back together at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a>, a team that has become a sort of haven for the Barcelona of yesteryear, with a good amount of on-field and a great amount of off-field success.



&nbsp;Neymar is in the Saudi Pro League on a mega-contract that runs until the middle of 2025. At 32, Neymar can still offer a lot, and in a recent interview with Pollo Alvarez, Lionel Messi spoke about a possible return of MSN.

“A little message to recruit him? No, I don’t know. The truth is, it’s difficult now. He’s in Saudi Arabia, and I think he has a year left on his contract. He had a tough year, where he was injured for a long time. So, it’s difficult now”.

Is the MSN reuniting at Inter Miami?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> put Inter Miami on the map by taking his talents to South Florida in the summer of 2023. But while his move has convinced many stars to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a>, it looks like Leo’s mere presence hasn’t been enough to persuade all his targets.



In fact, not even speaking with Messi himself seemed to seal the deal for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcos-rojo">Marcos Rojo</a>. The former Manchester United defender, who participated in two World Cups with Argentina alongside Leo, recently revealed the 8x Ballon d’Or winner called Rojo to extend him an offer to join the Herons.



“In January, Leo called me. It wasn’t just anyone or an intermediary. I spoke with Messi, and he told me about the possibility of going to Inter. Imagine what that represents for any footballer. And I wasn’t convinced about leaving Boca because I had recently renewed my contract,” Rojo told Argentine radio station Radio La Red. “All I did was communicate with Román (Riquelme, Boca Juniors president) and tell him the situation. I told him that if he needed me, I would stay. I am one hundred percent convinced about staying at Boca and want to continue doing so.”



Rojo, 32, joined Argentine giants Boca Juniors in 2021 and is under contract with the club through 2025. His arrival would’ve strengthened a struggling <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> defense, but not even Leo’s phone call changed the defender’s mind.

“I have a contract through next year, and I will try to improve in areas where I need to and return to my best form, because I love playing for Boca, defending this jersey, and playing at La Bombonera,” added Rojo. “I really enjoy being at Boca. I will need to improve, work hard, and put in more effort to keep my place here, which is where I love to be.”

<h2>Marcos Rojo’s World Cup history with Messi, Argentina</h2>



Rojo and Messi played together in two World Cups for the Argentine national team. The former was La Albiceleste’s starting left-back in the team’s impressive run to the final in Brazil 2014, with Messi and company getting their hearts broken by Germany in extra time.



The pair continued to be teammates for more high-profile tournaments, including the 2015 and 2016 editions of the Copa America. Rojo was once again called up by Argentina for the Russia 2018 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a>, in which he delivered an unforgettable moment.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/28072931/Marcos-Rojo-and-Messi-2018-vs-Nigeria-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Marcos Rojo of Argentina celebrates after scoring his team&apos;s second goal with teammate Lionel Messi during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group D match between Nigeria and Argentina at Saint Petersburg Stadium on June 26, 2018 in Saint Petersburg, Russia." class="wp-image-130718" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Marcos Rojo of Argentina celebrates after scoring his team’s second goal with teammate Lionel Messi during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group D match between Nigeria and Argentina at Saint Petersburg Stadium on June 26, 2018 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.</figcaption></figure>



With Vitor Moses of Nigeria cancelling out Messi’s opener in the group stage finale, La Albiceleste were on the brink of getting eliminated as the final whistle drew nearer. When the group stage exit looked inevitable, Rojo came up clutch with a crucial header after 86′ to give Argentina all three points and a ticket to the round of 16.



Messi celebrated with Rojo in ecstasy, as the defender helped the country avoid a humiliating result early in the tournament. Argentina then lost to eventual champions France in the round of 16, but at least they extended their run for a bit longer.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> needs help in defense; that’s nothing new. Tata Martino’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> side has a defensive posture that can best be described as “suspect.” Adding insult to injury, on-loan defender Nicolás Freire went down for the season with an ACL injury.&nbsp;



Inter Miami have given up 27 goals in 18 matches and recently have let in 3, 3, 1 respectively in their last three matches. Now help may be once again on the way. How it fits into the salary cap, who knows, but according to César Luis Merlo, the Pink and Black have begun discussions with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-top-7-all-time-best-uruguayan-players-in-mls-history-20210329-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uruguayan</a> defender Gaston Silva.



According to Merlo, negotiations have just started and both clubs are in the process of working a transfer out. Silva can play in three positions across the defensive line.



<h2>Who is Gaston Silva?&nbsp;</h2>

Gaston Silva was born in Salto, Uruguay. Silva has played for various clubs throughout his career, including Defensor Sporting in Uruguay, Torino and Granada in Italy and Spain respectively, as well as Independiente in Argentina, among others.&nbsp;

Inter Miami have Uruguayan defender in sight

The international window is taking center stage with the Copa America drawing nearer, forcing many MLS sides such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> to play games without key players. But it seems that Luis Suarez will be eligible for Gerardo Martino.



The Uruguayan striker does not appear on the list of players on international duty for the June window published by the Major League Soccer official website. This suggests <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay">Uruguay</a> coach Marcelo Bielsa is not counting on Lucho for La Celeste‘s upcoming games.



Suarez, 37, is clearly not getting any younger, but his fantastic form in South Florida made people think a return to the international scene could be on the cards. In his first year in the US, the former Barcelona striker is making an impression with 14 goals and 7 assists in 20 games between MLS and Concacaf Champions Cup.



However, it looks like Bielsa is moving forward with a younger generation of players. The only Uruguayans in MLS who appear on the list published by the league are Orlando City stars Cesar Araujo and Facundo Torres, along with LAFC forward Cristian Olivera.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/28072959/Suarez-Bielsa-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Luis Suarez (L) and Giorgian de Arrascaeta (R) of Uruguay talk with Marcelo Bielsa coach of Uruguay during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match between Uruguay and Bolivia at Centenario Stadium on November 21, 2023 in Montevideo, Uruguay." class="wp-image-130496" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Luis Suarez (L) and Giorgian de Arrascaeta (R) of Uruguay talk with Marcelo Bielsa coach of Uruguay during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match between Uruguay and Bolivia at Centenario Stadium on November 21, 2023 in Montevideo, Uruguay.</figcaption></figure>



Inter Miami, meanwhile, will have four players on international duty. Their most notable absence will be Lionel Messi, who is set to take part in the Copa America with Argentina, while Benjamin Cremaschi (USMNT U-23), Matias Rojas (Paraguay) and David Ruiz (Honduras) will also be out.

Sergio Rochet, Santiago Mele, Sebastián Cáceres, José María Giménez, Lucas Olaza, Mathías Olivera, Nahitan Nández, Manuel Ugarte, César Araújo, Rodrigo Bentancur, Facundo Pellistri, Maximiliano Araújo, Brian Rodríguez, Facundo Torres, Luciano Rodríguez, Darwin Núñez.

<h2>Inter Miami’s matches during the 2024 Copa America</h2>



The Copa America will take place from June 20 to July 15. While the Herons already know Messi will probably miss at least six matches, the team is still wondering whether Suarez will be available for selection.

While the Copa America will be over by the Toronto fixture, Messi could still be on vacation depending on how far Argentina go in the tournament. A week after the Chicago game, the MLS season will stop to make room for the Leagues Cup, with Miami playing Puebla on July 27.

Kylian Mbappe has addressed the media for the first time since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/kylian-mbappe-announced-by-real-madrid-his-first-message-after-leaving-psg-for-free">confirming he’ll be leaving PSG for Real Madrid</a> this summer. And just like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> did once he joined Inter Miami, the Frenchman took a shot at his former club.



Speaking to reporters on Tuesday ahead of Euro 2024 with France, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a> suggested the club’s brass made life difficult for him in his last season at the Parc des Princes.



“PSG told me I will not play violently. Luis Enrique and Campos saved me. This is the truth,” Mbappe said. “Without them I wouldn’t have seen the field again, that’s the truth. And that’s why I’ve always been so thankful to the coach and the sporting director.”



Mbappe didn’t mention <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> president Nasser Al Khelaifi, but he didn’t need to. With these comments, it’s safe to assume he is not in good terms with the PSG chairman.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/28074203/Messi-and-Mbappe-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe during the Ligue 1 football (soccer) match between AC Ajaccio (ACA) and Paris Saint Germain (PSG) on May 13, 2023" class="wp-image-124794" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe during the Ligue 1 football (soccer) match between AC Ajaccio (ACA) and Paris Saint Germain (PSG) on May 13, 2023.</figcaption></figure>



However, Mbappe didn’t want to add more fuel to the fire: “It would be a shame if I said I was unhappy at PSG because I now have my new club. But there were people and things that made me unhappy.”

<h2>When Messi also took a jab at PSG after leaving for nothing</h2>



Mbappe’s comments against Paris Saint-Germain may remind about Messi’s feelings towards the Ligue 1 side after two complicated years in the French capital. In his first press conference as an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> player last year, the Argentine star didn’t hide how he really felt about his time in Paris.



“As I said at the time, my departure to Paris was not something I wanted, it was not something I wanted to leave Barcelona and, so to speak, it was from one day to the next. And, well, I also had to get used to a place that was totally different from where I had been living all my life, both in terms of the city and in a sporting sense, and, well, it was difficult, but the opposite of what is happening to me now here [in Miami],” Messi said in August 2023.

The 36-year-old went to Fort Lauderdale to join his national teammates for what will be his quest for a second <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america">Copa America</a> crown.



Messi is expected to captain and lead the Argentine to a deep run in the tournament, which begins on June 20th, where Argentina will play Canada at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.



Messi is expected to miss <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> games ranging from June 5th up until the final on July 14th. The MLS club gave no indication if Argentina were to be eliminated early in the tournament, if Messi will simply slot back into the team.



<h2>How many games is Lionel Messi now expected to miss?</h2>



Inter Miami, for now, sits first above everyone in MLS in the general standings and first in the MLS East with 35 points and a 10-3-5 record. Still, Tata Martino’s side continues to have major defensive issues that for now continue to rely heavily on Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Now with notable absences for Copa America and later the Olympics, Inter Miami will need to solve their defensive puzzle. Messi is only slated to miss time for the Copa America and will miss up to 6 MLS matches.



Philadelphia (Away), Columbus Crew, Nashville (Away), Charlotte (Away), Cincinnati (Away), and Toronto are the batch of games where Messi and possibly Luis Suarez, if called into Uruguay, will miss.

Tata Martino’s side was soundly beaten 3-1, showing many of its typical defensive lapses against an opponent that was on thin ice.



Nonetheless, Inter Miami, through various midweek results, still sits in first place in the MLS East and overall in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a>. On Saturday evening, they have a match against 11th-place St. Louis CITY in the West.



At home and in need of three points to secure a playoff cushion heading into the Copa America, Olympics, and Euro 2024—where Inter Miami is slated to lose many players due to international commitments—Inter Miami must win before Luis Suarez, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>, and company leave.



<h2>Status of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez for St. Louis CITY</h2>



Inter Miami assistant coach Javier Morales spoke to the media ahead of the game on Saturday, where Messi and Suarez trained with the first team.



“Everyone is ready to play. We’re going to train; you will see everyone there. There are no physical problems with the players.”

Morales continued, “Tata is going to put the strongest team possible against St. Louis. We want to go into the break (Copa America and Euros) by getting three points at home.”



For St. Louis CITY, their second season in MLS has not gone according to plan. The league’s lowest-spending team finished first in the West in 2023 with a high-tempo pressing style.

How to vote Inter Miami star Lionel Messi for the 2024 MLS All-Star Game?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> suffered a shocking defeat on Matchday 16. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta United</a> was able to secure a huge victory on the road, and they even thanked their rivals for playing with all their stars, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>, this time.



The 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> Season is in its second part of the regular campaign. Inter Miami leads the Eastern Conference, but Matchday 16 proved to be a nightmare for Gerardo Martino’s club.



Atlanta United sought points in a stadium where they’d never won before. Despite this, Gonzalo Pineda’s squad defeated Inter Miami, securing a crucial victory to bolster their playoff hopes.



<h2>Atlanta United “thanks” Inter Miami for playing with all their stars against them</h2>



Inter Miami currently reigns as the top team in the MLS. Under Gerardo Martino’s guidance, the club has undergone a remarkable transformation from last year, now occupying the league’s pinnacle.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-lionel-messi-scores-a-banger-to-put-inter-miami-on-the-board-vs-atlanta-united" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240530_BUS_128977_Lionel-Messi-scored-a-stunner-for-Inter-Miami-against-Atlanta-United.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Lionel Messi keeps making history with Inter Miami.

During this campaign, Martino has prioritized preserving his top players to avoid major injuries. Most recently, Inter Miami opted not to travel with Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suarez to face the Vancouver Whitecaps, yet still emerged victorious.



However, all these star players returned for Matchday 16 against Atlanta United. Unfortunately, their presence didn’t yield the desired result, as the visitors claimed victory with a final score of 1-3.



This situation sparked a response on social media. On X, Atlanta United thanked Inter Miami for fielding their entire squad, suggesting that even with all their stars, Inter Miami couldn’t overcome them.

Of course, the team’s fans swiftly responded to this post. Several followers took aim at Lionel Messi, suggesting that his goal wasn’t enough to halt a team that truly shone in Florida tonight.

Unfortunately, the game didn’t start well for the home side. Atlanta United took a two-goal advantage by the 60th minute, but Lionel Messi appeared with an amazing goal to narrow the gap with their rivals.



<h2>WATCH: Lionel Messi scores a stunner for Inter Miami against Atlanta United</h2>



Inter Miami has had a remarkable 2024 MLS season compared to what happened last year. The Herons are currently on top of the Eastern Conference, and it seems like they won’t leave that position until the end of the regular campaign.

In Matchday 16, Inter Miami hosted Atlanta United. Prior to the start of the game, it appeared to be an easy match for Lionel Messi’s club, but it turned out to be quite different from what they expected.



At the 59th minute, Saba Lobzhanidze had already scored twice for Atlanta United. Inter Miami hadn’t created any clear opportunities by then, but Lionel Messi quickly made his presence felt after the second goal.



Two minutes after Lobzhanidze’s second goal, Messi received the ball outside the box and skillfully crossed it, beating Josh Cohen in goal. The Argentinian striker narrowed the gap with Atlanta United, marking his 11th goal of the season.

Unfortunately, just 10 minutes later, Atlanta United struck back. Jamal Thiare capitalized on a defensive misunderstanding in Inter Miami’s defense to extend their lead to 3-1, maintaining their two-goal advantage.

According to Leo Paradizo, the 36-year-old, whose contract with Benfica ends in June, has agreed to economic terms with the MLS side.



Now all that is left is for Di Maria to either arrive in June or be a fresh face as of 2025, in what is Messi’s final year of his current MLS deal. Di Maria is set to play his final tournament with the Argentine national team at the 2024 Copa America.



There are also reports that Di Maria would play six months with childhood club Rosario Central before embarking on his MLS journey. Di Maria’s arrival this season could cause Inter Miami to trade or sell a player in the summer to make room on their tightly salary-capped roster.



<h2>Angel Di Maria’s Current Form</h2>

Despite the absence of Messi for the second consecutive game, Inter Miami secured a significant victory against Vancouver last week. This win enables them to maintain their lead in the Eastern Conference, albeit closely pursued by Cincinnati, with only a one-point difference. Consequently, they require a victory to sustain their position at the top.



After coach Gerardo Martino confirmed the presence of Messi and Suarez today’s match, the Florida team wants to secure 3 vital points in the fight for leadership. And they have a favorable opportunity to achieve them, as their opponents will be Atlanta United, one of the weaker teams in the tournament. Atlanta, with 13 points, currently sit five points away from the Play-in positions, which they aim to narrow.

They are dominating the league and looking like an MLS Cup contender.



Still, Tata Martino, who has been dealing with a lot of injuries this season, he may also have to deal with interest in a number of Inter Miami’s young talents. In this case, Paraguayan Diego Gomez is attracting attention.

Gomez was sensational for Paraguay during Olympic qualifying and will most likely be on the national team’s squad for the Copa America or Summer Olympics.

Gomez began his career with Libertad before his move to Inter Miami. Knowing full well that Inter Miami will try to sell off their young talent, Gomez could be sold in the summer but stay until the end of 2024.

Inter Miami star linked with Premier League club

Lionel Messi‘s decision to join MLS in 2023 turned Inter Miami into an attractive destination for other world-renowned players. One of the latest stars to be linked with the Herons has been <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angel-di-maria">Angel Di Maria</a>, a key partner of Leo at the Argentine national team.



The 36-year-old’s contract with Benfica is up this summer, and while a move to South Florida looks unlikely this year due to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a>‘ salary cap rules, A Bola claims there’s a plan to make it happen in 2025.



The Portuguese outlet reports Di Maria is considering signing a six-month deal with his boyhood club Rosario Central, with the idea of taking his talents to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> in January 2025. 



That way, the winger would make good on his promise of returning to the Argentine side while leaving the door open for a reunion with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a> in the United States.

<h2>Di Maria could complete Rosario Central return to then join Messi in Miami</h2>



Di Maria claimed more than once he would return to Rosario Central at some point in his career before hanging up his boots. This summer looked like the perfect moment for the emotional return, until a threat against his family by drug dealers in the city seemed to put those plans on hold.

However, the aforementioned outlet understands that Di Maria still wants to fulfill his promise to the Rosario fans, and the way to make it possible could be by living in Buenos Aires for six months while his family waits for him in Miami.



Spending his sunset years in South Beach – just like Messi and Luis Suarez, among others – might be an interesting option for Di Maria at this stage of his career, which includes World Cup and Champions League successes.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-inter-miami-coach-explains-if-angel-di-maria-will-play-with-lionel-messi">As Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino explained</a>, that may not be possible in 2024 due to financial reasons, but the outlook could be different in 2025. With that in mind, spending six months at his boyhood club could make sense for Di Maria as he prepares for life in Miami.



It remains to be seen whether this come to fruition, considering Di Maria would have to spend some time away from his family and perhaps live three hours away from the club. A meeting between his camp and Benfica is still pending, so an extension in Lisbon shouldn’t be ruled out yet.

“No Messi, no party” is what the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vancouver-whitecaps" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Vancouver Whitecaps</a> are feeling after Inter Miami announced that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets will miss the game against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday at BC Place. The club has sold a record-setting 55,000 tickets and is offering discounts and free food for kids to atone for the absence.



The Canadian club is well aware that many fans attending the game were strictly going to see Messi. The Whitecaps usually draw between 16,000 and 17,000 per game.



 During a press conference before the match, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gerardo-martino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tata Martino</a> answered questions regarding the absence of his team’s biggest stars for this game.

“We trained yesterday. When we finished, I conferred with the coaching staff and talked with the players, and at that moment we decided that they would not form part of the team,” Martino said on Friday. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="662" height="433" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/28073618/Screenshot-2024-05-24-102037-662x433.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-127852" sizes="(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px"></figure></div><figcaption>Messi, Suarez, and Busquets </figcaption></figure>



“We understand the people’s frustration, especially in wanting to see these players, but it is our job as the coaching staff to make these decisions that are uncomfortable. We understand what these players provoke in the league and other markets, but we have to take these measures that are sometimes unpleasant for people. But they are beneficial for the players,” Martino stated. 



“We can’t announce with 20 days’ notice what our movements will be. We analyzed the situation on Thursday because we have three games in a week, but sometimes unfortunate things happen that don’t allow for players to participate in a certain match.”
