Football superstar Lionel Messi and Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami have almost agreed to a contract extension for multiple years. The development was first reported by ESPN citing a source including that the contract extension announcement could come in 10 days. Messi arrived in Miami, Florida in June 2023 on a two and a half year contract which is set to expire at the end of ongoing MLS 2025 season. This could also be the 38-year-old's last contract extension before he retires from a decorated career with multiple Ballon d'Ors and a World Cup trophy when he won with Argentina in 2022.
