MLS has reportedly decided to exempt Lionel Messi from a punishment imposed on him in 2025, although the available source does not identify the punishment or explain the terms of the exception.
The report comes as questions arise over when Messi will return to Inter Miami following the FIFA World Cup. The supplied material does not provide a date for his return.
The source headline says the punishment left Messi “very upset,” but no supporting quotation or attribution is provided. No official statement from MLS or Inter Miami is included in the supplied material.
