The 38-year-old Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023 as a free agent after his contract with PSG expired.
Since then, Leo has featured in 82 matches for the club, netting 71 goals and providing 37 assists.
There had been speculation in the media that Leo wasn't planning to sign a new contract with Inter, allegedly aiming for a return to Europe to better prepare for the upcoming World Cup. However, as we've now seen, those rumors were unfounded.
