Eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi moved to the متحد States in 2023 when deciding to go chasing the American dream. He was talked into doing that by مانشستر يونايتد و إنجلترا legend David Beckham, who is now a co-owner at Chase Stadium.
Messi made an immediate impact with the Herons, helping them to a historic كأس الدوري triumph within weeks of his arrival, and broke MLS regular season points records in 2024 as انتر Miami claimed the Supporters’ Shield – while also claiming MVP honours.
There have been questions throughout the current campaign of how much longer Messi will be sticking around in South Florida. He has seen a move to join Cristiano رونالدو في الدوري السعودي للمحترفين mooted, along with a return to his roots at Newell’s Old Boys.
وفق إي إس بي إن an agreement has been reached that will keep the 38-year-old in Miami – where his wife Antonela and their three sons feel settled. It is said that once all of the extension details have been ironed out, “the contract will be sent to الدوري الأمريكي لكرة القدم for final approval”.
It has previously been suggested that Messi is ready to commit his future to Inter Miami through to 2028 – which would be another three seasons in MLS. It remains to be seen what the terms actually are, with a global audience waiting patiently on official confirmation of the proposed deal.
