Messi has not decided whether to participate in the 2026 World Cup

Journalist Guillem Balague, as Lionel Messi's biographer, shared the star footballer's thoughts on the 2026 World Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, no one knows for sure about the next World Cup, and the one who knows the least is Messi himself. Currently, he is just moving from game to game, from tournament to tournament.

If he extends his contract and stays in America, he will assess the situation. For now, Messi is taking one step at a time.

Everyone wants to see Messi as the leader of the Argentina national team, but he has not informed anyone about his final decision.

He will make the decision in due time. There are also speculations that the 2026 World Cup could be his last major participation with the national team, Balague said in an interview with BBC Sport.

The Argentina national team has already secured a spot for the 2026 World Cup, where he will participate as a defender.

In this tournament, Messi and his team will strive to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. Football fans are eagerly waiting to see what decision Messi will make.

For now, the player is fully focused on each of his games and tournaments.
