Lionel Messi next's club: Ranking the options with Inter Miami, Barcelona an Al-Hilal all suitors for PSG star

With the bombshell news that Messi is set to leave PSG, this is where he could end up next

Well, it's happening. Lionel Messi is leaving PSG, which means he's going to be on the market as a free agent this summer when his contract expires at the end of June. Of course, he's already free to negotiate a deal with a new club as of January 1. The Argentina superstar, who ruffled some feathers with the club this week and was suspended as a result of his unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, is departing the French capital with his father and agent communicating as much to the club about a month ago. 

So, that leads to the question, where next? Where might arguably the greatest player to ever do it, one at the height of popularity just months after winning the World Cup with Argentina, play next season?

Here's where I want to see him, ranking five potential destinations from the one I least want to see to the one I most want to see and why. It's important to note that this isn't about what's likely to happen. The pragmatist in me knows that a Messi return to Argentina isn't in the cards right now, even if the romantic in me wants to see it happen. So, onto the list.
