Captioned “HE’S HOME,” Inter Miami proudly announced that their star player will remain with the team for the foreseeable future.
Since his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, he has already netted 71 goals.
During this period, the former Barcelona standout has made 82 appearances, providing 37 assists, and is aiming to conclude another remarkable season with the MLS Cup.
Inter finished third in the Eastern Conference, securing 19 wins and eight draws from their 34 matches.
Messi achieved 28 goals and 16 assists in his 28 games and is now preparing to face Nashville in the playoffs.
Inter previously defeated Nashville 5-2 last week in their final regular-season match.
In that game, Messi scored a hat-trick and is in the running for the MLS MVP award for the second consecutive year, which would make him the first player ever to achieve this feat.
He has been recognized for his contributions and led the club to the Supporters Shield in 2024 as well.
Messi’s initial two-and-a-half-year contract has proven to be a worthwhile investment.
He has played more matches for Inter than he did at PSG and continues to break records as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
Despite his age, he managed to score two goals in a friendly match against Puerto Rico earlier this month.
Messi is nearing his 200th cap for his country and could surpass that milestone at the tournament next summer.
