Lionel Messi is set to sign a one-year contract extension at Inter Miami despite concrete interest from the Saudi Pro League. The legendary Argentine winger moved to the MLS outfit from Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, scoring 52 goals in 64 appearances since.

The game started off poorly for Miami. In the second minute, Messi sent a back pass directly into the path of Montreal forward Prince Owusu, who scored an easy goal on a left-footed shot from the center of the box to give the home team a 1-0 lead.
