David Beckham’s Promise to Messi: More Than Just a Contract Extension

According to the Miami Herald, one of the key factors behind Lionel Messi’s decision to sign a long-term extension with Inter Miami is David Beckham’s promise—together with billionaire brothers Jorge and Jose Mas—“to build a more competitive team.”

Messi Brings Enormous Profits to Inter Miami

“Messi is very close to signing a new contract with Inter Miami, with negotiations currently ongoing. As of today (September 20), no agreement has been finalized yet, with a few details still to be clarified. MLS (Major League Soccer) has already approved all the next terms.

The deal could be signed soon, with talks accelerating in recent weeks,” reported transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano regarding Messi’s renewal with Inter Miami.

Beckham is determined to turn Inter Miami into a “super club” in order to convince Messi to officially extend his stay.

Previously, ESPN and USA Today confirmed that Messi and Inter Miami had already reached 85% agreement on a “multi-year” extension—at least two more seasons until 2027, and possibly through 2028.

Meanwhile, Spanish outlet Marca reported:
“Inter Miami is working on a long-term contract for Messi, should he wish to continue playing beyond the age of 40. There is a lot of speculation about the exact length, but little is truly known.

The timelines currently being mentioned only serve to meet MLS and financial requirements. In reality, Messi will play as long as he wants and then move into other club roles, potentially as a partner and co-owner—since equity stakes are already included in the current contract terms.”

Another indication of Messi’s long-term commitment to Inter Miami is his brand officially becoming the main sponsor for the club’s youth teams and academy. This long-term deal has significantly boosted shirt sales—not only for the senior team but also for youth squads and the academy, according to Marca.

Messi’s Impact on Inter Miami’s Finances

According to the Miami Herald, Messi has brought massive profits to Inter Miami year after year. Before his arrival, under President David Beckham, the club’s revenue was only $50–60 million in 2022. That figure skyrocketed to $120–130 million in 2023 when Messi joined, and climbed further to about $200 million in 2024. This year (2025), the club is projected to reach nearly $300 million in revenue (around 7.9 trillion VND).

“David Beckham and billionaire brothers Jorge and Jose Mas are clearly eager to keep their ‘treasure,’ Messi, not just for more playing years but also as a long-term figure tied to the club in a co-ownership role.

Messi still has a strong competitive spirit and wants to bring sporting success to the team. This is why he expects the club to build a squad strong enough to compete. Beckham’s promise to fulfill that wish—and his actions, such as pursuing Rodrigo De Paul—have completely convinced Messi,” said journalist Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald.

Once again, Messi has proven his class, helping Inter Miami revive and return to the MLS title race.

Official Announcement Expected Soon

Within the next 10 days, possibly by early October, Inter Miami and Messi are expected to officially announce the contract extension, according to the Miami Herald.

This will create great excitement among fans, who are looking forward to a major milestone in the club’s growth: the inauguration of Miami Freedom Park stadium and complex in early 2026—when Messi will still be by their side.

American media also confirmed that Messi will play with Argentina at the 2026 World Cup to defend their title. That tournament will be his last major competition and the final time he wears the Albiceleste jersey. Afterward, Messi will remain tied to Inter Miami until he decides to retire.
