Messi will play at Inter Miami's Miami Freedom Park

This is a very modern sports complex, planned by Mr. David Beckham since 2014 after retiring to invest in a football club in the US. That is Inter Miami, which is currently successful.

Inter Miami's remarkable rise over the past 2 years has had a huge impact on Messi, so the owners of this team do not want the Argentine star to stop. They soon gave him many incentives, such as shares in the team after retirement, and always helped this star player and his family have the most comfortable life in the United States, to enjoy football for the rest of his career.

"Messi is very happy after more than 2 years playing in the US. Therefore, the negotiation between this famous player and the team leaders is very easy. Messi is very happy to continue to stick with Inter Miami. He is preparing to sign a contract extension until December 2026, thereby playing at Inter Miami's new stadium, Miami Freedom Park, for at least 1 season. In addition, it is entirely possible that Messi will leave open the option to extend the next year (2027 when he is 40 years old), but it will depend on him playing in the 2026 World Cup," said The Athletic .

Messi's extension with Inter Miami also had an impact on another big deal, which was that Mr. David Beckham, the club's president, decided to recruit veteran striker Angel Di Maria from Benfica.

David Beckham wants to strengthen the team with the goal of competing in the FIFA Club World Cup. Recently, he also brought two new players to Inter Miami, Baltasar Rodriguez and Allen Obando, bringing the total number of new players joining the club since the beginning of 2025 to 8 players.

According to the US press, Di Maria's agent, Jorge Mendes, just made a quick trip to Miami to negotiate with David Beckham and billionaire Jorge Mas. The 37-year-old veteran Argentine player is also a close friend of Messi. He has retired from the national team, but is still playing brilliantly with Benfica in the Portuguese National Championship.

Di Maria's contract with Benfica will expire next summer. Therefore, if he agrees to join Inter Miami, it will be on a free transfer, in accordance with the financial conditions of the team, according to journalist Claudio of ESPN (USA).

Besides Di Maria, Mr. David Beckham is also pursuing another big star this summer, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne after officially leaving Man City Club.
