"Interest Aligns with 'Inter': Insights Explored"
In a significant turn of events, football superstar Lionel Messi has decided to extend his contract with Inter Miami, keeping him in the Major League Soccer (MLS) for several more years. This decision comes as a boost for the club, which has seen a significant increase in attendance at matches due to Messi's presence.
Messi, who is almost like a homegrown talent for the 2026 World Cup, given that it will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has played 62 matches for Inter Miami so far, scoring an impressive 54 goals in various official competitions. Under his leadership, the club has won two trophies: the League Cup and the regular season championship of MLS.
The financial details of Messi's new contract have not been disclosed, but reports suggest that it will be a lucrative deal. His current contract pays him around $50 million per year, and rumours of a $400 million per year offer from PIF-linked club Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia have been circulating. However, Messi has chosen to stay with Inter Miami, with The Sporting News suggesting that his decision is influenced by his personal life, specifically his preference for the dominant Latin culture and familiar food in Miami.
ESPN reports that Messi's contract extension with Inter Miami is expected to last for several years. This confirmation of his participation in the 2026 World Cup, given his key role in Argentina's qualifying campaign, is a welcome news for football fans in North America.
Interestingly, Saudi Arabia-based investors were reportedly trying to sign Messi to join their league, with Al-Ahli being one of the clubs attempting to lure him away. However, Messi's loyalty to Inter Miami and his commitment to the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in his neighbouring countries, seem to have won him over.
Messi's decision about his World Cup participation, however, remains evasive. He has stated that his decision depends on his "feeling." But with his extended contract with Inter Miami and the 2022 World Cup, which will be hosted by the same trio of countries, just around the corner, football fans can expect to see Messi in action on home soil.
In a historic moment for football, the 2022 World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, making it a short journey for Messi to participate. The tournament ended on a high note for him, as he won gold with his national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. With his extended stay in Inter Miami, football fans can look forward to more exciting moments from the legendary player in the coming years.
