Big news for soccer fans: Lionel Messi has put pen to paper and extended his stay with Inter Miami all the way through the 2028 season! 🌟 This means the Argentine icon will keep lighting up Major League Soccer (MLS) parks for another five years – talk about making a statement.
Messi’s Miami journey began in 2023 after a brief stint at Paris Saint-Germain. Since arriving, he’s not only upped the game on the field but also off it, driving record crowds and ticket sales across the league. Last season, he dazzled enough to earn the 2024 MLS Most Valuable Player award 🎖️ and clinch the Golden Boot with 29 goals in 28 matches.
On Saturday, Messi capped the regular campaign with a hat-trick in a 5-2 rout of Nashville SC ⚽🔥, helping Miami secure third place in the Eastern Conference and book a spot in the MLS Cup playoffs. This Friday, they’ll face Nashville again in what promises to be a thrilling rematch to kick off the postseason.
At 38, Messi insists age won’t slow him down. With this extension, he’s locked in well beyond the 2026 World Cup hosted in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Ready for more jaw-dropping goals, unforgettable celebrations, and World Cup dreams? Miami’s magic show is just getting started! 🎉
