Messi Confirms Commitment to Inter Miami Until 2028

Lionel Messi has ruled out an immediate return to his boyhood club, Newell’s Old Boys, stating his intention to remain with Inter Miami until at least 2028. Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on October 30 that Messi is content in the United States and is not engaged in negotiations with Newell’s.

Romano emphasized that Messi and his family are settled in Miami and that the 39-year-old forward intends to honor his current contract, which may extend beyond 2028. Speculation regarding Messi's potential return to Argentina had increased recently, with local media suggesting he could rejoin Newell’s in January 2027.

However, Romano's comments indicate that such a reunion is not being considered at this time. Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain and has become a key figure at the club, recently signing a contract extension.
