Messi has a plan for his life after football.
According to rumours, Lionel Messi is still planning for his future in Barcelona. The Argentine great will return to Catalunya with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo and their three sons. In 2021, Messi said goodbye to Camp Nou under tearful circumstances.
Having left the legendary La Masia academy system, eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi had planned to remain a one-club player. Lionel Messi smashed innumerable records and changed the course of history of the club.
Through 778 games, he scored 672 goals for the Blaugrana, which helped them win four Champions League titles and 10 LaLiga titles. When a lucrative deal with Barca came to an end, professional relations were broken off.
Lionel Messi expected to return to Barca
But eventually, Barcelona will feel like home again. The Messi clan can return to Spanish beaches after a fantastic career comes to an end and boots are hung up for the last time.
SPORT have said in an update on that situation: “As he explained in a recent interview, Leo Messi plans to return to Barcelona once his MLS contract ends. In the future, he will return to be a true Barcelonan.“
“After retiring from football, there is a family consensus that he will return to live in Barcelona, where he still owns a home. And it will be then that he will be open to becoming more involved in the day-to-day operations of the club. His initial desire would be to join the sporting management team with a president he trusts.”
Lionel Messi has always been seen as having little chance of becoming a coach. The 38-year-old isn’t the type of person who would yell and yell in the dugout. But a position with Barca as a director or ambassador would be ideal.
