Argentina captain Lionel Messi, 36, said Wednesday that Inter Miami will be his last team, adding that he is “a little bit scared” about the day he will decide to retire.

Messi, who won the World Cup with Argentina in 2022, has a contract with the team competing in the American Football League until 2025 after arriving last summer after a period with Paris Saint-Germain, the French champions.

Messi told Essien: “Inter Miami will be my last team. I love playing football. I enjoy everything more because I know there is little left.”

“I’m not ready to leave football. I’ve done it all my life, I love playing football, I enjoy training, the day, the matches. Yes, there’s always a little bit of fear that it’s all over,” he added.

The Tango star won the Liga México Cup with Inter Miami, the club’s first title. Messi has previously expressed his happiness at joining Inter Miami, describing his move to MLS as the “opposite” of his move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is preparing with his national team to defend the Copa America title, with the tournament starting on June 20 in the United States.

Argentina will face Canada in the opening match before facing Group A rivals Chile on June 25 and Peru four days later.
