Inter Miami officially confirmed that Lionel Messi has extended his contract, ensuring his continued presence in Major League Soccer and cementing his professional playing career for the coming years. This commitment, coupled with Cristiano Ronaldo’s prior contract extension with Saudi side Al Nassr, means the soccer world can breathe easy, as both global superstars will remain on the pitch for a few more seasons.

According to an official statement from Inter Miami, Messi’s new deal is slated to run through 2028. At the time of expiration, the Argentine maestro will be 41 years old. Meanwhile, Al Nassr has CR7 locked up until mid-2027, which means the Portuguese legend is set to compete professionally until he turns 42.

The next major challenge for both players is the 2026 FIFA World Cup
