Where Will Lionel Messi Play Next Season? Inter Miami Emerges as the Favorite According to Oddsmakers
As a PR specialist for the sportsbook BetUS, I wanted to discuss the latest odds and potential moves for soccer superstar Lionel Messi. While he is still enjoying in his native Argentina with the rest of the team the joy of last December's victory, his future is uncertain but surely not worrisome.
According to the oddsmakers, the Inter Miami team is currently the favorite to include the Argentinean star in their squad next summer with odds of +175, which means that a $10 bet would pay $27.50.
Gordon Watson, a senior BetUS analyst, thinks that it's interesting to see the shift in Messi's potential landing spots. “Just a few months ago, the odds heavily favored him staying with Paris Saint-Germain. Now, it seems like the American dream with Inter Miami is within reach.”
The Barcelona team, where Messi spent most of his career, is not far behind in this Messi race with +350 odds. “Barcelona could offer Messi the opportunity to return to a familiar setting and potentially end his career where it all began”, says Watson.
The fact of playing in Saudi Premier League is in third place with a +750 odds. The Saudi team could offer probably the best economic deal plus a new challenge in a different league, country and culture.
Interestingly, four teams from the English Premier League have also emerged as potential options, including Manchester City, led by his former coach, Pep Guardiola. The City is the most likely option with odds currently at +1600. Not bad for a $100 bet paying out $1700. However, it remains to be seen whether Manchester City is willing to invest in a player of Messi's caliber, especially considering their recent financial issues."
As for the potential impact on Messi's brand and reputation, Watson adds, "A move to a new team can be both exciting and risky. Joining a new team in a new league can provide him with new opportunities for growth and exposure."
In summary, the potential moves for Messi are wide-ranging, and as the odds shift, it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Regardless of his decision, it will have a significant impact on the soccer landscape, and we will be closely monitoring the developments.
