aWith Marca’s reporting in recent months, Intermiami and Lionel Messi continue to negotiate the next update with the MLS club, even if nothing unusual happens.
The update is still being processed (not signed), but the intent is in the table. The player’s idea is to win a title with the club and continue playing for Miami to get a good shape at the 2026 World Cup.
Messi and Inter start with victory | Inter Miami 2-1 Atlas | Highlights and Goals
InterMiami is considering signing Messi as a player for at least three years (until 2028) (until 2028), and it will be even longer if you want to continue playing at age 41. That’s been discussed from the InterOffice in downtown Miami.
I’ll explain it. The important thing is that they both want to be together, and the essential thing is that Messi plays as long as he feels that way and has the power to do so. This is unrelated to the contract signed in 2019 (as MLS competes that way for now). Inter offers multi-year contracts of three, four, and five years, so they are independent. In other words, Messi plays as much as he wants, taking over the rest of the club (where he has to compete with Barca). This is important. This means that Messi is Intel’s partner (subsidi) or one owner (signed in his first contract).
So it’s a long deal, but as long as Messi wants to play, as Leo sometimes says, he wants to make it longer or shorter. Leo still has challenges ahead of him, including the current League Cup (won Inter in 2023). MLS he hasn’t won yet (he won the Supporters Shield, but official in the US). 2026 World Cup Challenge with Concachampions … and Argentina.
We will inform you of the steps to update this rheomessi.
