Messi's career is great. In 2001, the 13-year-old Argentinian joined Barcelona and continued to improve in the youth team and finally gained a foothold in the first team.
Under his leadership, the club entered its most successful period - from 2008 to 2012, scoring countless goals and winning countless trophies.
In the past few years, Messi has redefined the greatness of football, and in addition to winning championships for clubs and national teams many times, the Argentinian has also won almost all sports awards.
However, Messi, 34, is in his twilight years of his career and may consider hanging his boots in the next few years. At this point, let's take a look at five clubs where he might end his career.
5, Paris Saint-Germain
Last summer, Messi ended his 21-year career in Barcelona and joined Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent. He signed a two-year contract at Princes Park and had the option to extend the contract for one year.
When the seventh-time Golden Globe winner's contract with the French giants expires, he will be at least 36 years old (if he renews his contract for one year, he will be at least 37 years old). At that age, Messi might not have achieved anything, and he could have ended his brilliant career.
4, New York City Football Club
Messi has always admitted that he is willing to play for the American Professional League at some stage of his career. In a December 2020 interview, the attacker talked about his desire for Major League Soccer.
Messi said: "I always say, I have the impression that I want to enjoy living in the United States, living in that league and that kind of life, but whether it will happen, I don't know."
If Messi decides to end his career in the Major League, New York City Football Club may be a good choice. The city's appeal, market potential and opportunity to extend his career make the club an attractive destination for Messi.
3, International Miami team
Middle League of American Professional Football International Miami team played for by David Beckham is another possible option for Messi to end his career.
The Argentinian has been in touch with this Miami club for a while, so it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually makes a change.
It is reported that Beckham wants Messi and Ronaldo to meet in International Miami, and there are rumors that Beckham has begun to play a role in this regard and the two may retire at the club.
At the same time, it is worth noting that Messi's former Argentine teammate Higuain is currently working in this club. Whether this can be the catalyst for Messi's transfer to Miami remains to be seen.
2, Newell Old Boys Club
Newell Old Boys Club, where Messi played in his childhood, may be another destination of his career. In a 2016 interview, the organization's core reiterated his desire to play for the Argentine team.
Messi said: "If I can return to Argentina tomorrow, I will definitely play for Newell."
"Now if I think of that day, if it does happen, it will be in a few years. I can assure you that I am willing to play for the Argentine League and Newell, but it depends on a lot of things."
1, Barcelona
Still, many people still think Messi will return and retire in Barcelona. Camp Nou fans, players and his former colleagues will welcome Messi with open arms. Shortly after he left, Messi revealed that he would be willing to return to the club sometime in the future.
He said: "I kept saying that sooner or later I will return to Barcelona because it is my home and I live there.I'm always willing to do my best to help the club and obviously if I can contribute and help the club, I'd love to go back to the club. ”
