Lionel Messi-Inter Miami rumors swirl, Gaga Slonina called up by Poland, and more: Freedom Kicks for May 18, 2022

Happy Wednesday, everyone. D.C. United takes on NYCFC in league action this evening at 7:30pm, and before we head to Audi Field, here’s some of the news from yesterday.

There was a report by an Argentinian journalist that said that Lionel Messi was coming to be a player-owner at Inter Miami. Messi’s family denied that he has made any decisions about his future, but that didn’t stop the entire world from running with it. It should be made clear that Messi is under contract until July 2023 with PSG, and so he can’t sign a precontract anywhere until January.
