Barcelona fans had little hope that one day Messi would return to the club of his life. But Messi himself fueled their hopes. This world champion said that in which club he will end his football career.
In an interview given to ESPN, Messi said that Inter Miami is the last club of his football career. Playing in this club will bring the end of football.
36-year-old Messi will turn 37 this month. Messi said in the interview, ‘Yes, I think Inter Miami is my last club. At the moment I feel like Miami is my last club.’
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored 25 goals and 16 assists in 29 matches for Miami. Messi also won Miami the first trophy in club history.
However, Messi is not leaving football immediately. He said, ‘I am not ready to give up football now. This is what I have been doing all my life. I love to play and practice and play matches. But I’m a little afraid it’s going to end this way.’
Messi said about leaving Europe, ‘It was not easy to come here from Europe. Coming here as a world champion and seeing everything differently. I want to enjoy everything, that’s why come here. I don’t have much time to play and I am careful about that.’
Argentina begin their Copa America journey against Canada on Thursday.
