Liverpool Monitoring Shock Lionel Messi Loan Scenario

While the source behind the report is far from bulletproof and the idea borders on fantasy, there is at least some footballing logic behind the claim.

Liverpool’s attacking issues this season have been well documented, and the recent injury to Alexander Isak has left the Reds particularly short in forward areas. Although Isak is expected to return, Liverpool are reportedly assessing short-term solutions that could provide immediate, elite-level impact without creating long-term squad complications.

That profile narrows the field significantly — and, in theory, few players fit it better than Lionel Messi.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool are exploring the possibility of signing Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi on a short-term loan before the start of the new Major League Soccer season. At this stage, the situation remains speculative, and no concrete negotiations have been confirmed.

Separately, Liverpool could see movement in the opposite direction. Winger Federico Chiesa has been linked with a potential exit, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Juventus have made formal contact with the Reds in an attempt to strike a deal.

As things stand, both situations remain fluid, with Liverpool weighing options as they navigate a critical stretch of the season.
