The 38-year-old Messi renews his contract suspense: He is still brave but it is difficult to stop the team from falling, and the probability of staying at the team is 55%!

Recently, discussions about Messi's future at Miami International continue to ferment. The Argentine legend has joined Miami International in the summer of 2023 and its existing contract will expire this summer. Although he is about to turn 38, Messi still shows extraordinary skills in the Major League Soccer (MLS). Miami International performed well at the start of the season, with four wins in the first five league rounds. However, the situation has taken a sharp turn since then, with only one victory in all the last seven games, and 23 goals were lost during the period.

Currently, Miami International is currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with 22 points, and is 7 points away from the top Philadelphia United (one game less). Messi's future is cast in a shadow as the team's record fluctuates. The latest news says that the possibility of Argentine superstars renewing their contracts to stay in the team is only 50%.

When asked about the status of the personal contract, Messi himself chose to avoid it: "I know nothing about it." Miami International coach Mascherano recently spoke to GOAL and said when talking about his compatriot Messi: "This is not just a problem for Messi. I keep communicating with many players, not only in adversity. Coaching work should not stick to stereotypes, but listen to adjustments to ensure that the players are in the field. After all, they are the ones who execute tactics."

Speaking of Messi's future, Mascherano admitted: "This is not a question I can answer. Of course, I hope Messi stays--it means a lot to the fans, the club and everyone. But I don't participate in the negotiations, that's the responsibilities of the sports director." So far this season, Messi has played 17 games for Miami International, contributing 10 goals and 3 assists.
