Lionel Messi is close to signing a new contract with Inter Miami that will keep him with the team at least through the end of the 2026 MLS season, according to a source with knowledge of the talks who spoke to The Associated Press.
Messi’s current deal, signed in July 2023, runs through 2025 and was worth around $150 million over two and a half years. The new contract is multiyear and is in its final stages, with only minor details left to be worked out. Neither Messi nor Inter Miami has announced the extension yet.
