Talks of a contract extension for Lionel Messi at Inter Miami are at an advanced stage, per The Athletic.
When Messi joined the Herons in July 2023, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner signed a two and a half year contract that is set to expire at the end of the year. Messi and Inter Miami did not come to a new agreement before the start of the 2025 MLS season, but they are now close to inking a new deal.
The Athletic's David Ornstein reported that Messi "is now expected to sign" an extension with the Eastern Conference side. Although the terms of the deal are still being finalized, it looks like Messi will be around to play at Miami Freedom Park, Inter Miami's new home next season.
