Despite Saudi Arabian clubs reaffirming their strong interest in Lionel Messi just a few weeks ago, the Argentine football legend is on the verge of finalizing a contract extension with Inter Miami.

The renewal comes as a boost for the MLS side, who have benefited significantly from Messi’s influence since his arrival, both on and off the pitch. His commitment to staying in Miami quashes recent speculation linking him to a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.

In another notable development, Messi’s long-time Argentina national team teammate, Atlético Madrid midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, is set to join Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. The move aims to strengthen the club’s squad depth, with De Paul’s energy, passing range, and tactical awareness expected to complement Messi’s playmaking abilities—mirroring their successful partnership in the Argentina setup, which includes a 2022 World Cup triumph.
