Inter Miami could soon play a friendly match against River Plate at the Monumental, which would mean the possible return of Leo Messi to Argentina to play a match after his farewell with the Albiceleste last October 6.

As Cristian "Kily" González, coach of the Herons, revealed, the match would be practically confirmed, although for the moment there is no definitive date. According to some reports, it could take place in the second half of January as part of Inter Miami's preseason.

"For me, that situation is almost confirmed. It is a very strong possibility. Obviously, it is always good to compete against Argentine teams, like River in this case. Although there is still a long way to go before reaching that moment," he said after the 3-3 draw against Charlotte.

If confirmed, it would be a historic match for Leo Messi who had never before been able to play a club match in his home country. He had only taken part in Juan Román Riquelme's farewell match at La Bombonera and Maxi Rodríguez's at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, as recalled by the newspaper Olé. This time, the Monumental awaits him, where he has a legendary history with Argentina.
