The announcement came via a video on Inter Miami’s social media, showing the Argentine star signing his deal inside the under-construction Miami Freedom Park stadium, accompanied by the caption: “He’s Home.”

Messi said he was delighted to continue with the project, describing his time in Miami as a “beautiful reality.”

Club co-owner David Beckham praised Messi’s decision as a sign of his continued passion for the game and dedication to growing soccer in the United States.

The extension means Messi will remain in competitive football well beyond the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in North America.
