Son Heung-min, along with Messi and Thomas Muller of Vancouver Whitecaps FC (3 matches, 4 goals and 1 assist), have become the 3 brightest stars in MLS (American professional soccer league) today.

Los Angeles FC, with a 4-1 victory over Real Salt Lake, officially booked their ticket to the MLS Cup later this year. Similarly, Vancouver Whitecaps FC also got a ticket to the first round.

Meanwhile, Messi's Inter Miami, after two recent consecutive victories against Seattle Sounders FC with a score of 3-1 and DC United with a score of 3-2, has returned to the race to defend the Supporters' Shield championship (MLS scoring round).

Inter Miami is currently ranked 5th in the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 52 points after 28 matches, still has 3 matches in hand and is 8 points behind the leader Philadelphia Union. Inter Miami is also almost certain to compete for the MLS Cup championship and has a direct ticket to the first round.

According to Spanish media, Messi and Inter Miami have reached a general agreement on a contract extension. Messi will sign a new contract for at least two more years, with an option to extend for another year (2+1). After retiring, Messi will also own a part of the club's shares and become a co-owner of the team, alongside current co-owners David Beckham and billionaire brothers Jorge and Jose Mas.

While Messi will be staying with Inter Miami for the long term, two of his close friends, veteran midfielder Busquets and striker Suarez, are considering the decision to retire at the end of this season.

Busquets and Suarez both have only a few months left on their contracts with Inter Miami until the end of December this year. Up to now, both have not decided whether to continue to extend their contracts to play with Messi or not.

Spanish media predict that both will announce their retirement and focus on off-field projects. Suarez has just founded and is the owner of a football club in Uruguay (Messi is also a co-owner). While Busquets wants to retire, after Inter Miami has had the appearance of midfielder Rodrigo De Paul to replace him and will play as his designated player from the beginning of 2026.

If both Busquets and Suarez retire and leave Inter Miami at the end of this year, only defender Jordi Alba will continue to accompany Messi, as the veteran player has officially extended his contract with the team until the end of 2027.
