Oman today_ Lionel Messi has extended his contract with Inter Miami for three years, deciding to continue his football career in the United States. The deal runs through the end of 2028 and indicates that, in addition to continuing his club career, he intends to defend his World Cup title with the Argentina national team.
Inter Miami has built a squad tailored to Messi’s style: Luis Suárez, his longtime friend and former Barcelona teammate, features in the attack, Javier Mascherano oversees the team as head coach, and Rodrigo De Paul, who played alongside Messi in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory, has also joined the squad.
With this lineup and environment, Messi has an ideal setting to continue his football journey, making his participation in the 2026 World Cup in the United States highly likely. This contract extension secures both his club and national team future, providing clarity for the next phase of his career.
