Lionel Messis future seems to be with Under Miami. The Argentina Superstar is in conversation with the club during his future, said co-owner Jorge Mas on Wednesday In an interview with Futbol de Primera.

One of the biggest ever to play, Messi went to the MLS side in 2023 after his enchantment with PSG and a historic run with FC BarcelonaWin everything that is conceivable with the latter. The legendary Argentinian superstar, who won the World Cup in 2022, has conquered MLS and scored 40 goals in 47 games, making the team to the Leagues Cup in 2023 and the supporters’ Shield of the MLS supporters led in 2024.

His current contract is after this season, but while Inter Miami wants to open a new stadium in 2026, they expect the icon will be there.

“My expectation is that we will see the leader of the team and number 10, Lionel Messi, in the new stadium. It is a decision. We are talking to him about his future in the club,” Mas told the legendary play-by-play andres cantor on Tuesday prior to the second stage of Cupars Cupars’s Cupars’s Cuppions Quarterfinales against the Concaf Champions Cup Quarterfinals against the Concacaf Champions Cup Quarterfinals Against against Los Angeles FC.

“All stars are in line with really great things, a wonderful future for the club and for Lionel. It is up to him, but I expect that we will determine this in the next 60 or 90 days because it is important to plan ahead.

‘He will be another member of the club [when he’s done playing]An acting shareholder and he wants to leave that to his children as an inheritance. We have a very NiceRespectful relationship with him, and I let him live his things peacefully. “

Although the future of Messi never really seemed to be doubted, there has always been this conviction that one day he might return to Boyhood Club Newell’s in Argentina, where he did not appear in a professional game. Nobody knows what will happen on the road, but an extension with Miami seems to reduce the chance that it happens. He will be 38 in June, and staying in the United States before 2026 is logical in the world, because the country will organize the World Cup 2026 alongside Mexico and Canada.

With an opportunity to defend the title of Argentina, the stay in the United States makes life easier for the inhabitant of Rosario in many ways. The national team of Argentina uses Miami as a basis during competitions in the country, and the Argentina Football Association opened an office in the Wynwood area of ​​Miami in 2023.
