The big news in the football world in recent days has undoubtedly been Lionel Messi’s renewal with Inter Miami until 2028. The Argentine footballer is going through a great moment on a personal and professional level, so he chose to continue playing in MLS and most importantly, to continue being a professional footballer, stretching retirement for a couple more years.
Inter Miami fans are celebrating this decision, as since the arrival of the Argentine, the team has been on the radar of the whole world and, in addition, figures such as Luis Suarez or Rodrigo de Paul have arrived, who are friends of the No.10 and joined to be part of the ambitious sporting project.

After his renewal until 2028, Messi broke his silence, as he had only shared videos and photos on social networks, but had yet to say in his own voice the reasons why he wanted to stay more years living and playing in Miami.
In conversation with NBC Nightly News (via GOAL), Lionel Messi commented that he feels very good where he is. “Honestly, I felt very good during the year. I’m happy living in Miami, as is my family, and honestly, the decision was easy”.
“I’ve always said that I will base my decision on how I feel day to day and how I feel physically and mentally to continue playing and continue to be part of this club,” added the World Cup winner.
