Argentine legend Lionel Messi is in the final stages of contract extension negotiations with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami CF. The two parties are on the brink of reaching an agreement on a new multi-year contract, with only a few remaining details and clauses left to be finalized.
Messi’s camp and Inter Miami CF have already reached a consensus on the core terms of the contract, and the negotiations have been progressing smoothly overall. The final agreement is expected to be officially concluded in the near future. Once both sides confirm all details are correct, this contract extension will be submitted to the MLS league office for review and approval in accordance with the league’s stipulated procedures.
Despite some recent transfer rumors linking Messi to clubs in other leagues, both Inter Miami CF and Messi himself have publicly expressed on multiple occasions their desire to continue the positive cooperative relationship established since Messi joined the club. This willingness is reflected not only in the competitive aspect but also encompasses a shared vision for the club’s future development and the building of Messi’s personal brand.
Since joining Inter Miami CF, Messi has made 36 official appearances for the team in the 2025 season. Across multiple competitions—including the CONCACAF Champions Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, MLS Regular Season, and Leagues Cup—he has scored a total of 28 goals. He currently tops the team’s scoring chart, demonstrating a consistently high-efficiency competitive form.
Jorge Mas, co-owner of Inter Miami CF, previously stated clearly in an interview with Camel Live that the club will do everything in its power to provide Messi with an ideal professional environment. The club hopes Messi can continue his career with peace of mind in South Florida and wrap up the final chapter of his playing career here.
