The World Cup winner, 35, has just over three months remaining on his existing deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi has the option to extend his stay for a further 12 months, but will be available on a free transfer if no extension is agreed.
There’s clearly no shortage of interest in his services.
A reunion with Barcelona has been mentioned time and again, while there’s a strong financial challenge from clubs in the Middle East.
But a move Stateside is the most likely scenario for Messi, according to Sky Bet.

Club president Joan Laporta confirmed he recently met with Messi’s father and left open the possibility of a summer transfer.
Laporta said: “We talked about the World Cup and a tribute match for Leo. He’s at PSG right now, so I don’t want to speak about whether or not he could return.”
He’s 8/1 to join any Saudi Premier League team and reignite his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr.
Manchester City are offered at 16/1, ahead of 20/1 duo Chelsea and Newcastle. Manchester United and Bayern Munich are outsiders at 25s.
