Argentina national team forward Lionel Messi has once again stated that he will soon end his career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 38-year-old footballer admitted that it is highly likely he will not participate in the upcoming World Cup. The final decision will be made next year, shortly before the tournament begins.
In an interview with TyC Sports, after winning the qualifying match against Venezuela (3:0), Messi said, "I am not ready to think about leaving. This is not something I wanted or expected.
But I know the time is approaching." Currently, the Inter Miami club forward leads the list of top scorers in the South American qualifiers with eight goals.
The Argentina national team has already secured participation in the 2026 World Cup.
