Lionel Messi Nearing Contract Extension with Inter Miami Ahead of 2026 World Cup

Lionel Messi is reportedly on the verge of extending his contract with Inter Miami, a move that aligns with his ambition to defend Argentina’s World Cup title in 2026.

The 37-year-old has made no secret of his desire to lead La Albiceleste in the upcoming tournament, which will be hosted across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Despite recent injury setbacks, Messi has started the 2025 MLS season in strong form, netting three goals already.

While his current deal expires at the end of 2025, Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas has confirmed that renewal discussions are underway. According to Diario AS, an agreement is close, though key details remain to be finalized.

Three possible scenarios have emerged regarding Messi’s future:

  1. Short-Term Extension (Through 2026 World Cup) – Messi is almost certain to prolong his stay at least until mid-2026, ensuring he remains in peak condition for the tournament. There is also a possibility of extending through December 2026 to complete the full MLS season.
  2. Longer Stay (Pending Stadium Delays) – Inter Miami’s new stadium, originally slated to open in early 2026, could influence Messi’s decision. If construction is delayed until late 2026 or even 2027, the club may push for him to stay through December 2027.
  3. Potential Return to Newell’s Old Boys – Despite rumors of a sentimental return to his boyhood club in Argentina before retirement, Messi’s immediate focus appears to be on Inter Miami and the World Cup. Any move to Newell’s would likely come in 2027 or 2028 as a final chapter in his legendary career.

With Messi still performing at an elite level, Inter Miami is eager to secure his services for as long as possible, ensuring his presence both on the field and as a global ambassador for the club and MLS.
