Despite an illustrious career filled with countless records and an undeniable passion for the game, Messi seems unsure of his path beyond his playing days.

Messi’s journey with Inter Miami has been exciting yet challenging, as injuries have kept him sidelined for portions of the season.

Even so, he’s contributed significantly to his team’s rise in the MLS. Now, with his contract running until 2025, fans are speculating about whether he’ll continue with the club, explore new options, or retire.

What matters for Lionel Messi now?

When asked about his current focus, Messi emphasized his enjoyment of the present. “The only thing that I’m thinking about is playing, training, and enjoying myself,” he shared.

The forward has made it clear he values each day, choosing not to dwell on what lies ahead.

With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Messi remains uncertain about his participation. “The truth is that I don’t know,” he admitted.

He emphasized the importance of his current season and the need for a proper preseason, something he missed due to travel commitments. For now, Messi is taking things “day by day.”

As Inter Miami gears up for a major clash with Atlanta United on November 2, fans will be watching closely, knowing that Messi’s plans for the future remain as mysterious as ever.
