Lionel signed his contract until 2025 with the option to extend it.

Lionel Messi was released from PSG in the middle of this year and everything indicated that he would return to Barcelona. After all, the captain of the Argentine National Team had just been a figure in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and everything indicated that he could continue to shine in Europe, especially in the club of his loves. However, the culé board never sent the offer that La Pulga was waiting for due to alleged financial problems and the best player in the world surprised everyone by leaving for Inter Miami with the pass in his possession.

It later emerged that Leo had rejected not only the offer of 600 million euros per year from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal, but also said no to other proposals from the Old Continent. Thus, in July he signed his signature with the franchise founded by David Beckham and now he seems happy in the United States, despite the fact that he is currently going through an injury.

Now, as is known, Messi's new contract is until 2025, but it includes an option to extend for one more year, aimed at continuing to be linked to the Herons in case they compete in the 2026 World Cup. However, in recent years hours Forbes magazine gave information that took everyone by surprise: it will not use that renewal. Thus, in two years Lionel will have the power to hang up his boots or leave for a last club. Will it be Newell's Old Boys?

 

The decision could also be linked to his presence in the World Cup

Although he was asked about it in several interviews, Lionel's answer is always the same: there is a lot left. The star does not want to rush to confirm his presence and will wait until the moment to make a decision based on his desire and physical condition to compete in a competition of that magnitude.
