Turkish giants Galatasaray are reportedly exploring an ambitious move to sign global superstar Lionel Messi on a four-month loan during the upcoming MLS break, which will occur due to the FIFA World Cup tournament.

The break presents a unique window for European clubs to temporarily acquire high-profile MLS players. Sources suggest that Galatasaray is willing to make a significant financial commitment to secure the Argentine's services.

The club is reportedly prepared to match Messi’s current salary for the entire four-month period, demonstrating the seriousness of their intent to bring the former Ballon d'Or winner to the Süper Lig.

Such a high-profile loan move would dramatically boost Galatasaray’s profile and competitiveness during the mid-season period. The temporary transfer would hinge on Inter Miami CF's willingness to release Messi and the player's interest in maintaining match fitness in a top European league before the MLS season resumes.
