According to a report from The Times of London, Messi is close to agreeing to a deal with Inter Miami.
The deal that Inter Miami plans to give Messi would make the 35-year-old forward the highest-paid player in MLS history.
Guillem Balague reports that PSG is also confident that the star forward will re-sign once his current contract with the Ligue 1 club expires next summer.
A report from DirecTV Sports correspondent Álex Candal stated that Messi would be joining Inter Miami upon the expiration of his PSG contract with a deal that would also give him a 35% stake in the MLS club.
Leo Messi has not decided his future yet. His camp guarantees that Leo is only focused on the World Cup and there’s no agreement with any club. 🚨🇦🇷 #Messi
Inter Miami want Messi and will push; but also PSG will offer Leo a new deal soon.

Though no deal has been signed or agreed upon, Inter Miami’s interest in Messi has long been documented.
In June 2021, club owner Jorge Mas told the Herald that he hoped to see Messi play in an Inter Miami jersey in the future.
“I am optimistic Messi will play in an Inter Miami shirt, because I think it will complete the legacy of the greatest player in our generation and will meet with the ambitions of the owners of Inter Miami to build a world class team.”
