With the retirements of his friends Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, Lionel Messi's future in MLS was by no means certain. At 38 years old, La Pulga continues to panic the scorers in the North American championship, with 32 goals and 18 assists in 36 matches for Inter Miami. And he's not ready to stop.
With the 2026 World Cup in sight, the question of a possible retirement at the end of it therefore arose. The player is at the end of his contract next December. However, this will not be the case. David Beckham's franchise announced the extension of its star through a video published on social networks. We find the former Parisian signing a contract in the middle of a stadium undergoing reconstruction, punctuated with the message “Freedom 10 Dream”, all in pink.
The adventure between the two parties continues until June 2028, when Messi will celebrate his 41st birthday. Landed for free from PSG in the summer of 2023, number 10 will try to win a new trophy after winning the Leagues Cup in 2023 as well as the Supporters' Shield in 2024.
