The Argentine joined the club on a Designated Player contract. Now, with his deal nearing its end, his future at the club is hanging in the balance.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Messi hasn&rsquo;t signed any deal yet as rumours began that he may return to Europe for a six-month spell before the World Cup next year. However, negotiations over a contract extension with Miami are going on behind the scenes. According to ESPN, discussions between Messi&rsquo;s camp and the club are positive.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;ESPN: &ldquo;Inter Miami and Lionel Messi are still negotiating a contract renewal.
