A contract that adapts to Lionel Messi wishes
What’s interesting about this proposal is that it wouldn’t be a rigid contract, but rather one that allows Lionel Messi to decide how long he wants to keep playing, without pressure or strict deadlines.
This innovative approach reflects the reality of the player, who, at 36 years old, remains competitive and ambitious, while also valuing his physical and mental well-being.
Inter’s intention is for Lionel Messi to play “as long as he wants,” setting a precedent in MLS and the global football scene.
In addition, this deal would include options for him to remain connected to the club in strategic or executive roles once he decides to retire, especially since Messi is also a part-owner and shareholder of Inter.
Beyond the pitch: a bond for life
Messi is not just a player and star at Inter Miami, but also an important part of the club’s internal structure.
This makes his renewal not just a sporting matter, but also a strategic one for the long term. His plans include continuing to compete in MLS, chasing national titles such as the MLS Cup and the Concachampions.
And, of course, reaching the 2026 World Cup in top form, where he could make history by playing in his sixth World Cup tournament.
The flexibility of the deal and his ownership status make Lionel Messi a key figure on and off the field, with an open-ended future that could redefine how players and clubs relate in MLS and beyond.
