Lionel Messi seems to extend his stay in Major League Soccer, with reports in the United States suggesting that Inter Miami and Argentine icon are in the final stages of negotiating a new contract. ESPN announced on Wednesday that before confirming the agreement, only small details need to be switched on, which increases among Miami supporters the hope that their stellar man will continue to light up MLS for the coming years.
The current 38 -year -old contract is to expire at the end of the 2025 season, but it is expected that the extension will take place for at least two years and potentially maintain Messi in Florida until 2027.
Messi’s impact since the arrival of 2023 was nothing transformative. In 46 MLS performances he scored 41 goals and provided 27 assists. In all competitions, these figures in 62 peas increase to 54 goals, a return that has increased Inter Miami from the anonymity of the middle table to real candidates. He helped to raise the Leagues Cup 2023, their first main trophy before led to the 2024 supporters as the best side of the regular league season.
This season, the Argentine continues to set the pace with 20 goals in 21 league games and second in the MLS scoring charts along with 11 assists. His consistency and Flair turned Inter Miami into one of the greatest attractions of the league and attracted global attention to American football as David Beckham once did. Beckham is now part of the club’s ownership group.
It is also expected that Messi’s new agreement will have long -term consequences outside his playing days. His initial contract allegedly included a clause that joined the ownership structure of Inter Miami after retirement, a step to anchor his presence in the United States even after hanging shoes. For fans and investors, it promises the permanentness of Argentine sporting success and commercial growth.
Messi’s RSUME speaks for himself: Eight Ballon d’Or titles, four Champions League of Triumphs with Barcelona and League titles in Spain and France. Recently, he was the central point of the golden era of Argentina and led his country to 2021 Copa Amrica, the FIFA 2022 World Championship and another continental crown in 2024.
When Inter Miami is preparing for his upcoming clash against DC United, he sits sixth in the Eastern Conference with 49 points. With Messi, who managed their attack, herons will try to build on their dynamics and push for another deep run. If the extension is completed, the club and MLS in general will look forward to the presence of one of the largest footballers of all time.
