The MLS season is drawing to a close and the David Beckham-owned side are set to miss out on the play-offs with just two matches against Charlotte to go this term.
There was speculation Messi could keep busy until the 2024 season begins in February by going on loan.
But transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims he is not considering joining another team.
He is reportedly fully focused on Inter Miami and Argentina.
His national side face Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and bitter rivals Brazil in 2026 World Cup qualifiers over the next two months.
Inter Miami’s pre-season will begin in January, but Messi could play in friendlies with the club set to take place in Asia in November.
He is afterwards expected to take a holiday for one month.
Barcelona have supposedly been open to bringing back the 36-year-old legend despite financial troubles.

Meanwhile, Messi rejected a £350million-a-year deal from Al-Hilal over the summer.
They instead signed his old Barca team-mate Neymar.
