Lionel Messi likely to remain Inter Miami amid exit speculations: Report

Messi now has five months left in his Miami contract.

Lionel Messi’s future has been a recent topic in the media following Inter Miami’s exit from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The Herons demonstrated great fights against some top sides such as Porto and Palmeiras.

They also booked a place in the round of 16, where they faced Paris Saint-Germain and lost 4-0, ending their quest for the trophy.

Following their elimination, several media outlets reported that the Argentine is now considering his future at the Florida-based club. It was reported that he is looking for a more competitive league in order to prepare for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Meanwhile, the former Barcelona player’s present deal expires at the end of 2025. Now, with just five months left for the expiration of his deal, he is legally permitted to hold talks with other clubs over a move.

However, a recent report from The Athletic claims that Messi’s exit rumours are misguided and it’s unlikely that the forward will leave the Herons.

Lionel Messi set to stay at Inter Miami?

Despite the reports of a possible exit, Messi is seemingly happy at the club and will continue playing for the MLS club and staying away from all the limelight and drama that comes with playing for European clubs.

Despite the club’s subpar display at the Club World Cup, Messi is committed to playing for them and is likely to extend his contract in the coming months despite all the speculations linking him to a move away.

It is also worth noting that his move to Barcelona remains out of the picture because of several reasons, as his relationship with the president has not improved, while there are also personal reasons that he will see him snub a move to the Catalan team.

It seems like the Argentine is happy at Miami, and will continue playing for more years and will also prepare himself for the upcoming World Cup, which is set to be hosted by the USA, Mexico and Canada.
