Reports that the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, the legend of modern football, Lionel Messi, would soon retire caused some concern among fans. However, this information was not confirmed. The Argentinian star has made a firm decision about his future and is determined to stay on the pitch again.
According to journalist Nacho Garcia, the 38-year-old striker has reached an agreement with Inter Miami's management on a new contract. According to the updated agreement, Messi is expected to sign with the team for at least two years. At the same time, the terms of the contract also provide for the possibility of staying for another year at the player's request. This depends on their physical condition and overall athletic form at that time.
The most interesting thing is that the contract is not limited to football. If Lionel Messi decides to hang up his boots, he is expected to have a stake in Inter Miami and continue working as a co-founder of the club. Experts are confident that this step will further enhance Inter Miami's reputation in US football.
As a reminder, Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023. His current contract runs until December 31, 2025. However, the new agreement will further strengthen the partnership between the club and the star.
This season alone, Messi has shown high performance in the MLS, scoring 22 goals and providing 10 assists in 22 appearances. These figures clearly demonstrate that the Argentinian master is still in top form.
According to experts, Messi could become a decisive figure in further enhancing the marketing potential and prestige not only of Inter Miami but of the entire MLS. Thanks to his name and reputation, the league will attract large investments, new players, and thousands of fans.
