Messi and David Beckham's MLS adventure has borne fruit
The 2025 MLS Cup championship title is the sweet result of nearly 3 years, since Mr. David Beckham, President and co-owner of Inter Miami Club, once expressed that "even in his dreams he would never think he would bring Messi" to his team, has come true and won all the glory in MLS (American professional soccer league).

But this result is not the final stop, but will open a new, more ambitious phase of Inter Miami Club. Mr. David Beckham has cherished turning his team into the number 1 force in American and global football in all aspects.
From 2026, the team will move to a new stadium, the $1 billion Miami Freedom Park complex, which includes a modern 25,000-seat stadium, along with restaurants, hotels, offices and parks...
Inter Miami's squad after winning the 2025 MLS Cup will also have significant changes. Among them, two veteran players Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets have officially retired, striker Suarez has not decided whether to stay or not, there is news that this striker, who is about to turn 39, will return to play in Uruguay.
Only Messi has extended his contract until December 2028, and midfielder De Paul will become a full-time player from the beginning of 2026 when his current loan ends at the end of this year. Of course, coach Mascherano will also continue, according to Marca .
In preparation for these replacements, Mr. David Beckham and billionaire businessman Jorge Mas, co-owner of Inter Miami, announced: "We have a replacement (for Jordi Alba and Busquets), not in the plan, but already in negotiation. We can also add 1 designated player slot (allowed to buy players at a high transfer price and pay high salaries). Our goal in 2026 is to win the CONCACAF Champions Cup (similar to the Champions League in Europe)".
Happiness was evident on David Beckham's face as he congratulated Messi.

According to the US press, major targets are being recruited by Inter Miami in January 2026, including top striker Timo Werner, German, from RB Leipzig. Right-back Facundo Mura from Racing Club in Argentina, and left-back Kai Wagner from Philadelphia Union (USA).
In addition, Mr. David Beckham and billionaire Jorge Mas will also convince to keep striker Tadeo Allende, who played extremely well with Messi and 19-year-old striker Mateo Silvetti in the recent MLS Cup playoffs. Allende, Messi and Silvetti have also become an extremely good new attacking trio of Inter Miami, while Suarez has slowed down due to age.

For Messi, the MLS Cup trophy has completed the dream of this famous player since coming to America to play.
"That was one of our goals when we first arrived here. We won the Leagues Cup as soon as I arrived (July 2023). This year, we had a great year and did very well in every tournament we participated in. We reached the Leagues Cup final again, we also reached the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and played in the FIFA Club World Cup in the round of 16.
Last year we finished first in the league (MLS Supporters' Shield), but unfortunately we were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. But this year we did it. This was one of our goals and the whole team has been working hard and improving all year long."
According to Marca , the MLS Cup title will help Messi feel more excited, after a period when he had to consider and review the opportunity to participate in the 2026 World Cup, because he needed to achieve his goals at the club.
From there, this famous player will have good preparations for the 2026 season, including a long break now and return from March next year to prepare for the 2026 World Cup. This time, Messi will not delay anymore, because there is no better way to attend the World Cup with a prestigious championship title in hand.
