[Saba Sports News] MLS club Inter Miami just announced major news, confirming that the team has reached a contract renewal with Lionel Messi, extending his stay until 2028. Subsequently, Messi discussed the reasons for his renewal in a media interview. He stated that the decision wasn’t difficult, primarily based on his physical and mental condition, as well as his and his family’s fondness for Miami. In Miami, Messi can play football in a relatively relaxed environment, focusing on enjoying the sport itself. Meanwhile, his family has adapted to life here, and the renewal ensures stability for his family in the coming years, which is crucial for the family-oriented Messi. Our opinion is that Messi’s arrival has already brought unprecedented global exposure to Inter Miami and MLS. His contract renewal means the “Messi effect” will continue for at least four more years. The club’s social media followers, jersey sales, match attendance, and TV broadcast revenue are expected to remain at high levels.
