This Argentine legend has decided to neglect his wealth and return to Barcelona and Saudi Arabia

Since his transfer to Miami International, Lionel Messi has received unprecedented popularity from supporters and celebrities, but his stay in the United States seems relatively short.

Lionel Messi may have only been in international Miami for a few months, but according to reports, he has decided that his next club will be in his hometown and when he will take the next step.

This Argentine legend decided to neglect his wealth in Barcelona and Saudi Arabia, which surprised the sports industry when he moved to MLS in the summer. However, when his deal with the heron ends in 2025, it seems that he may move again.

For this seven time Ballon d'Or winner, this will be an exciting move as he may eventually leave the United States to complete his career in the country where he was born. According to El Nacional, the 37 year old player will transfer to the childhood club Newell's old boy after his current contract expires.

Messi seems to have adapted well to American life, and his performance on the field reflects his satisfaction with the new environment. After a mixed period with Paris Saint Germain, this veteran striker scored 12 goals in the first 11 games in the United States.

Since the arrival of this World Cup champion, the American public has always taken him to heart, and he has been received like a rock star across the country. After leading the Miami team to win the League Cup championship, he has already established a place for himself in the club's history.

At present, his estimated annual revenue at MLS is $500000 and $600000, and his contracts also include lucrative partnerships with partners such as Apple and Adidas. That is to say, after spending most of his life away from his homeland Argentina, he may yearn to eventually return.

He left his hometown of Rosario at the age of 13 to start a new chapter in Barcelona, and such a return will make his career complete. After all, when he participated in Maxi Rodriguez's recommendation at Marcelo Belsa Stadium earlier this year, he experienced the admiration that the city had reserved for him.

Over the years, he has repeatedly talked about hoping to complete his shining career at the club he supported when he was young. Even in his prime, he told Spanish magazine El Planeta Urbano in 2016, "If I were to return to Argentina tomorrow, I would like it. The club I will be playing for will be Newell.".

However, this world-renowned superstar was a bit shy on this topic when he was later drawn back to his home country. He later told TyC Sports, "My dream is to play in Newell, but I don't know what will happen, and part of this skepticism is due to the current way this country is doing.".

I have a family, my children come first, and then me. I hope they grow up in a peaceful place and can enjoy life safely. It's very ugly to see what's happening in Argentina. You can take to the streets, people want to rob you, and they can kill you.
