Lionel Messi expressed his happiness at renewing his contract with Inter Miami until the end of 2028, revealing the reasons that prompted him to make this move and not move to another club, whether in Europe or Saudi Arabia.
Over the past few months, it was reported that Messi had received a huge new offer from the Saudi League, and Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed that he dreams of bringing the Flea back for one last dance before retiring.
Ultimately, Messi decided to continue with Inter Miami, renewing until the summer of 2028, keeping him in football until he turns 41.
Messi was asked about the reason for renewing his contract during a media interview, and he responded briefly, saying, “I’ve always said that I base my decisions on how I feel every day, physically and mentally.”
He added, “The truth is that I felt completely comfortable throughout the year. I’m happy living in Miami, and so is my family, so I decided to stay here.”
Messi led Inter Miami to the playoffs, winning the first match 3-1 against Nashville, and also scored the goal of the first round of the American League.
