Lionel Messi has finally agreed to a contract renewal with Inter Miami after months of negotiations, ensuring the football icon remains with the club as it prepares to move into its new stadium next year.

The deal was announced on Thursday, a day before Inter Miami begins its playoff campaign against Nashville. Messi’s team, ranked third in the Eastern Conference, is set to play the first of a three-game series at home on Friday evening.

Details of the contract were not immediately disclosed, but Inter Miami was reportedly seeking an agreement extending through 2027 or 2028.
