With plans to retire with his boyhood club in Argentina, Lionel Messi “will LEAVE Inter Miami in 2025 and return to Newell’s Old Boys.”
In 2025, Lionel Messi will depart Inter Miami and return to Newell’s Old Boys, according to rumors in Spain. Messi has no plans to extend his contract with Inter Miami.
Since moving to Miami in the summer, Messi has dominated US soccer, scoring 11 goals in his first 12 games and assisting Inter in winning the Leagues Cup, the club’s first-ever championship.
The 36-year-old’s season has gotten off to a whirlwind start and he has revived the team’s hopes of making the MLS playoffs this year.
With Lionel Messi on board from the beginning, Miami will anticipate avoiding the playoff chase and comfortably making the postseason over the following two seasons, until his contract expires in 2025.

However, Catalan newspaper El Nacional reports that when that agreement expires, he will not be interested in signing an extension.
Messi is set to return to boyhood club Newell’s, where he plans to end his legendary career. Newell’s were the first professional team Messi joined at the age of six, and he spent five years with the Rosario team before joining Barcelona. Messi has a special bond with Newell’s and has expressed his desire to return to the club. In 2017, he said that he had a dream to play at Newell’s but was uncertain about the situation in his home country. He wants his children to grow up in a calm place and enjoy life with security. Messi has briefly returned to Newell’s on several occasions, including for Maxi Rodriguez’s testimonial in June. When he walked out onto the pitch in Rosaria, fans whipped up a sea of red flares and pyrotechnics. This move comes as a blow to Miami’s hopes of tying him down to a new contract in the near future.
