Argentina Captain Messi, who no longer has a contract in December 2025, has recently been connected to a move back to Barcelona.
While Inter Miami is starting a challenging season 2025, one of the hot topics around the team is the future of Key Man Lionel Messi, whose contract ends in December this year. However, there was a major new development in that area on Wednesday.
The only reason why Messi does not go back to Barcelona
According to the Spanish journalist Guillem Balagué, who is well connected to Barcelona, Messi has no plans to return to his former club as long as Joan Laporta remains president. Reports had previously suggested that the 37-year-old had wanted to end his career in Catalonia.
This gives Inter Miami extra hope to be able to convince him to stay in 2026.
Will Messi stay with Inter Miami after 2025?
At the start of the season, the captain of the Herons has already registered two goals and two assists in three competitive matches in the Concacaf Champions Cup and MLS. Messi's form and apparent dedication are enthusiastic about their prospects to win both games, which is the main goal of the club.
However, it is still too early to think about a new contract for the eight times Ballon d'Or winner, where both the club and the player have enough things to set up their attention.
However, Messi will probably be open to discussions with management under the leadership of Jorge Mas and David Beckham as the year progresses. Since the arrival of the Argentinian star, football in North America has been firmly on Inter Miami, something that they will certainly want to continue.
When is Messi's next game for Inter Miami?
After their first MLS 2025 match last Saturday, the next match of Inter Miami will be an intriguing visit to the Houston Dynamo in the second game of Apple TV's “Sunday Night Soccer”, who debuted with La Galaxy vs. San Diego FC on MatchDay 1. Now it is Messi's turn to appear in one of the Primetime slots on March 2.
Subsequently, on Thursday, March 6, the Javier Mascherano team will play the first stage of their Concacaf Champions Cup Round-of-16 draw against Cavalier SC from Jamaica. Inter Miami wants to secure their place in the quarterfinals, the round in which they lost last year from Monterrey in Mexico.
