Lionel Messi is supposedly ready to commit his future to Barcelona until 2023 before heading to the United States.
The 33-year-old, who tried and failed to force a move elsewhere in the summer, is free to enter talks with other clubs in January with his contract at Camp Nou due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are regarded as the favourites to land the six-time Ballon d'Or winner if he does call time on his Blaugrana career, while Inter Miami have also been linked with a swoop after he admitted that he would like to play in the MLS one day.
According to El Larguero's Jose Antonio Ponseti, Messi is indeed keen to move to Inter Miami but will wait until 2023 to make the journey across the Atlantic.
Ponseti claims that the Argentine is willing to stay on at Barcelona - where he has registered 10 goals and five assists in all competitions this season - for the sake of his children's education.
A recent report suggested that Messi is set to reunite with former Barca teammate Luis Suarez at Inter Miami - the MLS outfit co-owned by David Beckham - in the near future.
