Inter Miami's head coach, Gerard Martino, has expressed uncertainty over Lionel Messi's future with the club following their exit from the MLS Cup playoffs. Messi, who joined in 2023, has had a stellar season but his contract ends in 2025.

Inter Miami’s 2024 campaign came to an unexpected end with a first-round elimination in the MLS Playoffs. Despite the early exit, Lionel Messi still has crucial matches ahead.

From his trips to a Publix grocery store, a local family market or an NBA game, the 37-year-old has embraced the American lifestyle with open arms. However, it was an intimate image of Messi participating in a much older tradition that drew a reaction from his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, on Instagram on Thursday.
