Messi rules out Newell’s Old Boys return

Lionel Messi has no intention of returning to boyhood club Newell’s Old Boys, with the forward focused on continuing his career at Inter Miami.

According to a transfer journalist, no negotiations are underway over a potential move to Argentina, despite recent speculation linking the 39-year-old with an emotional homecoming.

Messi and his family are reportedly happy in Miami, where the former Barcelona captain is determined to honour his existing contract, which expires in 2028. Although a further extension has not been ruled out, any decision regarding his future beyond that date will be considered later.

For now, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner remains fully committed to Inter Miami, putting an end to suggestions of an imminent return to the club where his football journey began.
