According to the information, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi has already started negotiations to extend his contract, which expires on December 31, for another season. According to journalist Gastón Edul, the Argentine star has decided to link his future plans precisely with Inter Miami and is actively communicating with the club’s management regarding an extension of the agreement.
