Messi has not renewed his contract with Inter Miami, David Beckham has a 'strange tactic' to keep him at all costs

As of May 1, Messi's contract with Inter Miami has not been renewed as recently predicted, as shown on the MLS (American professional soccer league) homepage, similar to Alba, Busquets and Suarez, according to Deporte Total USA.

Messi staying at Inter Miami is 50%

"Messi is a little disappointed at Inter Miami," former US national team player Herculez Gomez told ESPN Futbol Americas recently, after the 37-year-old Argentine failed to help his team reach the CONCACAF Champions Cup final.

"Messi's frustration is palpable. He's still playing at his best, but unfortunately his teammates around him can't keep up or provide some tactical balance to Inter Miami's style of play.

A typical example, Messi tried to pass the ball 1-2 with striker Fafa Picault, and Picault ended up with the ball stuck at his feet. You could clearly see Messi's frustration," Herculez Gomez commented.

"This happens quite often, not out of boredom, but Messi is very upset with the way things are going. I don't think he expected this, and Inter Miami's recent failures are starting to weigh on him," Herculez Gomez added.

"Because, when Messi tries to create diversity in Inter Miami's playing style, it is still not possible. He is forced to seek familiarity from those he understands best, like Alba, Busquets and Suarez. But this is sometimes successful, the rest of the time they will be restrained by opponents with a solid and strong playing style like Vancouver Whitecaps FC has shown," Herculez Gomez explained.

Messi played with great effort to help Inter Miami regain victory against New York Red Bulls with a score of 4-1 on May 4.

Inter Miami coach Mascherano himself admitted: "Not only Inter Miami, every other team depends on Messi. When you have such an outstanding player, it is obvious to depend on him. But Messi still needs the support of his teammates. This support, sometimes the whole team helps him a lot, but there are also days when the team helps him less."

This is part of the reason why, even though there is news that Messi has reached an agreement to extend his contract with Inter Miami for another 2 years (until 2027), he has yet to officially sign the contract.

Alba, Busquets and Suarez will also have contracts expiring at the end of this year, and it is unclear whether these players will decide to renew their contracts to continue their careers for another 1 or 2 seasons with Messi, journalist Jose Armando of Deporte Total USA revealed.

David Beckham owns another football team in England, determined to keep Messi for Inter Miami

Mr. David Beckham, Chairman and co-owner of Inter Miami Football Club, has just officially become, together with his close friend, former player Gary Neville, the largest shareholder of Salford City Football Club, which is playing in League Two (England's third division).

David Beckham and Gary Neville have bought out the entire stakes of their close friends in the club, including Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes, according to British newspaper The Athletic . They have thus become the new owners of Salford City.

"David Beckham and Gary Neville are teaming up with new partners from the US to rebuild Salford City following the model of Wrexham, owned by two famous actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. They aim to bring the team up in the 2025-2026 season, with the possibility of playing in the Premier League in the future," The Athletic said.

David Beckham, however, does not directly run Salford City. He sits on the club's board of directors with Gary Neville and is co-chairman. The former England international, who has just turned 50, is still focused on his big project at Inter Miami, where he is set to launch the Miami Freedom Park complex in early 2026.

Among them, David Beckham and his co-owner of Inter Miami, billionaire Jorge Mas, are trying to convince Messi to stay and extend his contract.

Next, next summer, they will recruit at least one more big-name star to strengthen the team participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, most likely striker Angel Di Maria, Messi's close friend, whose contract with Benfica is about to expire on June 30, according to The Athletic and Spanish newspaper AS .

Regarding the move to keep Messi, the parties have reached an agreement to extend the contract for another 2 years, but the announcement is waiting for the right time. David Beckham has recently met Messi regularly at Inter Miami. The former player is showing his own way of convincing Messi to stay at Inter Miami for the rest of his career.
