Inter Miami CF intends to pair Lionel Messi with Robert Lewandowski to win the 2026 MLS Cup, according to recent reports.

After being crowned Major League Soccer champion by defeating Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 on Dec. 6, the Miami franchise is already planning for the next season.

Messi, 38, said goodbye to Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who decided to retire from professional soccer after the recently concluded campaign, and with Luis Suarez's future still in doubt, it is not yet known who will be the third Designated Player who will accompany Inter Miami's number 10 and Rodrigo De Paul in 2026.

Robert Lewandowski Could Leave Barcelona to Join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami

The Polish striker is under contract with FC Barcelona until June 30, 2026, so at the end of the current European season, he will be out of contract to sign for another club.

Lewandowski has been gradually losing prominence in Hansi Flick's team, mainly due to the good performance of Ferran Torres.

Last season, the former Bayern Munich player played 52 games and scored no less than 42 goals, considering all competitions, in addition to providing three assists.

In the 2025/26 campaign, he has played 17 games, and he has registered eight goals and one assist. Despite his age, every time he plays, he continues to show that he still has the physique and quality to perform at a high level, which is why the Herons have been interested in pairing him with Messi.

According to Jozwiak's report, Inter Miami has already decided to sign him. We will have to wait to know the conclusion of this transfer saga.
