After much speculation about how and if Lionel Messi’s career would continue, there is now clarity. The Argentine superstar is extending his contract with Inter Miami, which would have otherwise expired on 12/31/2025. 

In the meantime, there had been some speculation about whether La Pulga would hang up his boots for good. His long-time companions Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets had recently announced their retirements. 

Messi’s new contract with Inter Miami runs until December 2028. The Argentine is therefore expected to play at least three more years in the MLS.
