Inter Miami failed to qualify for the MLS playoffs and will take on Charlotte FC in their last game on Saturday.
There have been speculations that Messi could return to Europe on loan during the MLS post-season break to keep up his match fitness.
However, when asked whether he was considering playing for another club in December, Messi said: “No.
“It’s a shame [we didn’t qualify]. We came very close. I missed the last few games, we had several injuries. The month of July was very hard for us, we played every three days, we travelled. But we won a tournament which is important for the club and for what is coming next year.
“I will train, I will play our upcoming match [against Charlotte FC] and I will try to get here [to the national team] in the best possible way for November. After that, I will enjoy the holidays in Argentina. It’s the first time that I am going to have more days off in December, with the holidays, with peace of mind, with my people. In January, I will return again to do preseason. Start from scratch and prepare as best as possible as always.”
