Report: Lionel Messi is set to renew his contract with Inter Miami

Inter Miami has done the impossible. It all started with Lionel Messi's arrival. Afterward, the Herons signed Suarez, Busquets, Alba, and now Rodrigo De Paul.

The Mas brothers and David Beckham truly put the MLS and Inter Miami on the sports map. However, there is a saying: "All good things must come to an end".

It was something every Inter Miami fan thought when they checked social media, and there were zero clues about Messi's future.

Despite any possible frustration, according to Marca, Lionel Messi is set to sign a new contract with the Herons until 2028.

Lionel Messi will play in Miami Freedom Park

The mentioned outlet pointed out that Inter Miami will offer its captain a multi-year contract. It means that in a baseline, Messi will renew his contract for three more years. The Argentine will have a contract with the franchise until his 41 years old.

Nevertheless, the idea of the Herons is for him to stay and play as much as he likes. This news comes in handy with the strong reliance on Messi in the squad's football development.

The report specifies that Messi could extend the deal up to five years or end it before the initial three years.

What's next for Inter Miami?

Inter Miami will face Club Necaxa on Saturday at Chase Stadium. The Herons arrive at the game with a late victory against Atlas.

However, the squad needs to upgrade its game and start scoring more goals if it wants to qualify for the next round.

After this match, the Herons will face Pumas for the Leagues Cup, and on Sunday, they will face Orlando City.
