Football fans are dreading the day Lionel Messi decides to put up his boots, and the World Cup winner has hinted at when he will stop playing.
The Inter Miami star is largely regarded as the best player in the game’s history, and football fans will never see anything like him again.
At the age of 36, the attacker has accomplished everything in football, with his finest achievement coming in 2022, when he helped Argentina win the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Messi has enjoyed his life since, and he moved to Inter Miami last year to be closer to his family and enjoy his final years as a football player.
The Argentina star will now try to win more trophies with the MLS team, as well as a Copa America title with Argentina this summer.
The Barcelona icon has revealed when he intends to retire.
Lionel Messi says he will keep playing as long as he feels good
“I know that as soon as I believe that I can no longer perform, or no longer enjoy the game, or not able to help my teammates, then I will stop,” Messi said about his retirement via Fabrizio Romano.
“For my retirement, it will not matter what age I am. If I feel good, I will keep playing.”
Messi has a contract with Inter Miami until 2025, and it remains unclear what his plans are after that. New goals may arise for the Argentine superstar over the coming years, but it seems that he is already content with his career and is just playing football for fun, which he more than deserves.
