Superstar Lionel Messi has officially extended his contract with Inter Miami CF until the 2028 season. The deal is expected to be the last contract of his professional football career.
At 41, Messi will continue to be the centerpiece of Inter Miami and the face of Major League Soccer (MLS). This extension is perfect for the opening of the new Miami Freedom Park Stadium in 2026, where Messi will open the game at the team's new home.
Since his arrival in 2023, Messi has transformed the club — they have won two championships, while he has been awarded the 2024 MLS MVP Award and 2025 Golden Boot. His influence has made Inter Miami a global magnet for famous players.
This contract demonstrates Messi's intense dedication not only to the club but to North American football. Furthermore, it is also expected that he will once again lead Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in North America.
Although the exact value of the contract was not disclosed, it is estimated to be worth ₱10 billion to ₱12 billion, showing how important Messi is to the Inter Miami project.
