Inter Miami is optimistic about renewing Lionel Messi's contract, which is set to expire in December. The 38-year-old Argentine forward has become a cornerstone for both the club and Major League Soccer (MLS), with ongoing negotiations aimed at extending his stay in the United States.
Club officials and MLS representatives are reportedly confident that Messi will agree to a new deal, despite rumored interest from teams in Saudi Arabia. Sources close to Messi indicate that he is open to continuing his journey in the U.S., particularly as the 2026 World Cup, to be hosted across North America, approaches. It is widely speculated that Messi may conclude his international career after Argentina's upcoming title defense.
Since joining Inter Miami, Messi has made a significant impact, becoming the club's all-time leading goal scorer with 50 goals. His most recent contribution was a stunning free-kick in the Club World Cup against Porto. However, Miami's campaign in the tournament ended with a 4-0 defeat to Paris St-Germain in front of a crowd of 65,574 in Atlanta.
Retaining Messi is seen as crucial for MLS, as his presence continues to elevate the league's profile globally. As negotiations progress, fans eagerly await confirmation of the iconic player's future with Inter Miami.
