Messi temporarily suspends his career due to the death of his father.

The captain of the Argentine national team and Inter Miami club Lionel Messi decided to take a break from football to be with his family after the death of his father. The player returned to Argentina this week to attend his father's funeral.

According to reports, Messi will remain in his homeland for now and it is not known when he will return to the United States. The death of his father, Jorge Messi, has deeply affected the player. Therefore, he has temporarily suspended his participation in the Inter Miami team and has decided not to return to the United States for the time being.

After receiving the news of his father's death, Messi suspended his work in the United States and flew to Argentina to be with his family.

Earlier, it was reported that Jorge Messi died at the age of 68 in a clinic in the city of Rosario. He had been battling an illness for a long time, but it was not known what kind of illness he had. He has been struggling with health issues this year and was unable to travel to the United States to watch the World Cup.

Lionel spoke to his father regularly by phone to check on his health. Although Jorge's condition seemed to be improving at times, his illness was serious.

Jorge Messi played a key role in his son's footballing career and was by Lionel's side from the start. He served as Messi's first advisor and agent.
