Inter Miami issues a special announcement about Messi.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, a transfer news expert, sources within Inter Miami confirm that Messi and the club's management both want to maintain their current relationship. The parties are taking the necessary steps to extend his contract.

Messi shares the same viewpoint as Inter Miami.

Previously, ESPN Argentina journalist Esteban Edul unexpectedly revealed that Messi might consider moving to a more competitive league to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, as his contract with Inter Miami expires at the end of December 2025.

"Messi and his family recently told me that he's considering playing elsewhere in the six months leading up to the World Cup. At one point, he had finalized his contract to stay at Inter Miami, but that has now been postponed," said Esteban Edul.

This news immediately sparked much speculation, with many believing that Messi's decision to halt contract negotiations was entirely justified. The star player had just finished competing with Inter Miami in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, suffering a crushing 0-4 defeat against PSG in the round of 16. Messi alone cannot help his teammates perform at the same level.

Furthermore, if he continues to play with Inter Miami in MLS next season, some believe the star player fears he may not have enough rest and fitness to participate in the 2026 World Cup. Therefore, a move to a club in Europe or Argentina could help Messi maintain this.

However, Inter Miami confirmed: "Messi has a contract until 2025. The fact is, both sides want to continue the relationship." "The necessary steps are being taken with the right mindset to make that a reality," Inter Miami stated. Messi's side shares Inter Miami's view on this statement, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Meanwhile, journalist Guillem Balague, known to be close to Messi, revealed in February of this year that the star would not consider returning to Barcelona as long as Laporta remained president.

Guillem Balague also confirmed that Messi and his family are happy in Miami, USA, and are considering the possibility of extending his contract with Inter Miami. This is particularly being strongly encouraged by the club's chairman, David Beckham, and billionaire Jorge Mas, co-owner of the team.
