Suspended a match for his non-participation in the All-Star Game, Lionel Messi did not appreciate the sanction imposed by the MLS. To the point of sending everything for a walk? “He is upset, admitted the president of Inter Miami, Jorge Mas. This kind of decision can harm the vision he has of the league and its rules. »»

A strong declaration which, given the vagueness surrounding the future of “La Pulga”, could have left a big doubt about its intentions. But according to the Spanish newspaper Marcathe overtime of the Outple Ballon d'Or (38 years old), expected for several weeks, would not be called into question at all. On the contrary.

A tailor -made contract for Lionel Messi

Currently linked to the Floridian team until next December, the Argentinian striker should stack for not one, but three additional seasons! This contract would therefore allow him to play up to 41 years and especially give him flexibility, because he could hang up when he seems. Or almost.

By arranging with its leaders, Lionel Messi could thus continue to evolve with Inter Miami until the 2026 World Cup, the last immense challenge of his career, and then hang up. In the event of a judgment before the end of its extension, it would integrate the organization of the club, in a still indeterminate role.
