"There have been too many rumors about Messi recently, such as only 50% staying at Inter Miami, or returning to Argentina to play for Newell's Old Boys from the beginning of 2026. But the truth is that Messi's plans have not changed so far. According to my understanding, from a friend of the Roccuzzo family, Messi's wife, that his current plan is to stay in Miami for at least 1 to 2 more years," journalist Claudio said on May 10.

According to the American newspaper, Miami Herald : "Messi has regained his balance and comfort in recent days, after the shock of being eliminated in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-finals. He has left with the whole team and will lead Inter Miami in the next two away matches in MLS (American professional soccer league), against Minnesota United FC and San Jose Earthquakes".

In the upcoming two matches, Messi will not have his close friend Suarez with him, this player is absent for personal reasons. Coach Mascherano also confirmed: "Suarez has returned to Uruguay for some private issues. Therefore, when he returns, he is not sure if he will have time to join the team."

Messi's presence in Minnesota and especially in San Jose, the largest city in Northern California (USA) in the near future, has caused a fever among fans here, because it will be the first time to see the Argentine star play since he joined Inter Miami.

Tickets for the San Jose Earthquakes' match at PayPal Park are hot, as fans rushed to buy tickets ahead of news of Messi's arrival, according to the Miami Herald .

According to the British newspaper, The Athletic , American fans have recently been watching more football because of Messi's presence. They are willing to spend a lot of money to buy tickets to watch the famous player play for Inter Miami.

In the coming time, at the 2026 World Cup, this fever will certainly increase significantly when the ticket prices for the group stage matches currently on sale by FIFA have an average price of up to 305 USD (nearly 8 million VND), but are still very expensive.

Messi has committed to staying at Inter Miami for at least the next two years (2026 and 2027), in the short term because he does not want to disrupt his preparations for the possibility of joining the Argentina national team at the 2026 World Cup.

But the 37-year-old is still waiting, because he wants to see if his ability can meet the highest level through the rest of the 2025 season.

"Messi has no need to rush his upcoming decisions, including officially signing a contract extension with Inter Miami and playing for Argentina at the 2026 World Cup. He will wait for the right time to announce it," journalist Claudio added.
