Lionel Messi on his future after retirement

Leo Messi gave an interview on ‘Olga Live’ in which he reviewed, in a relaxed tone, the current moment in which he lives, after signing for Inter Miami after not renewing his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentinian has put an end to his time in Europe and has been living in the MLS in the United States for months now.

The striker signed a two-year contract until 31 December 2025 with Inter Miami. He will then be 38 years old and, as he himself acknowledged in the interview, « time passes for everyone ». Asked about his plans for the future, Messi admitted that he was not sure yet, although he did reveal some of his professional dreams.

« I haven’t thought about it and I don’t want to think about it either. I want to continue enjoying what I do. I took an important step leaving Europe behind. I don’t want to think about the next step, I want to enjoy what I like most, which is playing. It’s a job that I love, I’m lucky. I have responsibilities. I don’t know what I will do, I like everything related to football, I like being with kids, teaching, also being a sporting director, but I don’t know where I’m going to go », he explained.

Asked if the option of returning to Argentina was on the table, Messi did not hide and was sincere: « Personally, I always had the idea of being able to enjoy Argentinian football, and even more so after being world champions, of being able to play for Newells. When I was a kid I used to go to their stadium, » he said.
