On July 15, 36-year-old Messi joined the roster of the Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami. His contract with the team runs until the end of the 2024/2025 season.
Since 2021, the Argentine has played for Paris Saint-Germain. His contract with the Parisians ran until June 2023 with an option to extend for one season. Before this, the forward played for Barcelona. As a member of the Catalans, he won the Spanish Championship ten times and won the Champions League four times.
