One possible future scenario for Lionel Messi is a return to his home country Argentina. There he could play for Newell’s Old Boys.
Lionel Messi’s contract with FC Barcelona expires at the end of the season and it is still unclear how the 33-year-old attacking star will continue afterwards. German Burgos, head coach of Newell’s Old Boys, advocates that the six-time world footballer extend his contract with Barça – in order to subsequently play for his club.
“I have the best plan for him. I believe in him I think he can still do a lot, ”said Burgos to“ La Capital ”. Former Atlético assistant coach Diego Simeone said: “I don’t think he’s going to leave Barcelona because it’s his home, like Newell’s. I think one day he will come here. “
According to Burgos, there is a good reason that Messi could play for the Argentine first division team before he retires: “Because if Diego Maradona played here, Messi will also want to play at Newell’s. I think that will happen at some point. Hopefully soon. “
