Messi Does Not Know When to Retire from the Argentina National Team

– Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi, said he does not know when he will end his international career with the Argentina national team.

“Even I don’t know when. It will happen when it happens,” the 36-year-old player said in an interview broadcast on Argentine television on Wednesday (12/7/2023).

Messi said he is now enjoying a beautiful moment with the Argentina national team after successfully winning the 2021 Copa America and winning the 2022 World Cup. He said only time would tell when the decision to retire from the international stage would be made.

“Logically, given my age, one would expect it to happen soon, but I don’t know for sure. Now we are champions of America (Argentina won the 2021 Copa America) and world champions, we have to enjoy it,” said the seven-time Ballon d’ winner Or that.

Previously Messi had said that he would not be able to play in the upcoming 2026 World Cup. He said this when he visited China with the Argentina national team to face Australia in an official FIFA trial match last month.

Messi will now also try new adventures at club Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of last season.

The former Barcelona player is said to have signed a two-and-a-half year contract at Inter Miami. The MLS club will introduce Messi as its new player on Sunday, July 16.
