Play until the age of 41! Messi responds to contract extension for 3 years: Very happy in Miami Beckham: He is the GOAT

Late at night on October 23, Inter Miami officially announced that Messi has renewed his contract with the team for three years. The Argentine superstar will play in the MLS until at least the age of 41. Later, Messi and Beckham both expressed their views on this.

In July 2023, Messi left the five major European leagues and joined Inter Miami. At the time, he turned down a sky-high salary from Saudi Arabia. After coming to the MLS, Messi's performance is still world-class, and he is the most shining star of the Miami team and even the entire MLS.

There were previous reports that Messi would retire after next year's World Cup, and some media claimed that Messi would return to play in Argentina early next year, but these were ultimately confirmed to be false news. Late last night, the long-awaited announcement came out that the 38-year-old Messi officially renewed his contract with Miami for three years until 2028.

Why did you renew the contract for 3 years? Messi said: "I am very happy to be able to stay here. This is not only a dream. I have been very happy since coming to Miami, so I am really happy to be able to stay here. We are all very excited."

Club owner Mas was delighted and didn't know why: "Messi has renewed his contract until 2028 is a tribute to our magical city. We are very much looking forward to writing a new chapter in the Miami Stadium. We will also build and build dreams together."

Little boss "Heartthrob" Beckham once again publicly stated that Messi is the best player in history. "We have kept the best player in history in Miami. This is our commitment to Miami, and it also reflects Messi's commitment to this city, to Miami, and to football. We feel very lucky."

This season, the 38-year-old Messi played 28 times in the MLS regular season, scoring 29 goals and assisting 16 times. Messi is currently the captain of Inter Miami. Since joining the team, he has played a total of 82 times, scored 71 goals, assisted 37 times, and directly participated in 108 goals.
