The future of Lionel Messi in what remains of his career seems to be already written. The Argentine striker recently renewed his contract with Inter Miami and everything indicates that it would be the last club of his successful career. However, in soccer nothing is 100% concrete and despite the fact that the number 10 is comfortable in Miami, in Argentina they are still excited to have him at the club where it all began.

Messi began his career in the youth ranks of Newell's Old Boys and ever since he left at a very young age for Barcelona, the Rosario club have always dreamed of having him back. After the statements of their coach, the hopes of a return reappear.

Newell's are still dreaming of Lionel Messi's return

Seeing Messi playing in the Argentine league seems to be something impossible. The Inter Miami player has never spoken about a return to the club where it all began, however, he has always had love and respect for Newell's Old Boys, so from Rosario they do not stop believing in miracles.

At Newell's, a new cycle begins at the start of 2026 and the coaching duo in charge will be Favio Orsi and Sergio Gomez. Regarding the hope of having Messi in the not too distant future, both expressed their desire to be able to coach him.

"Everyone at Newell's, including us, believes it would be wonderful if he had the opportunity to play for his club and in his city. It would be a dream not only for our fans, but for the whole country," the coaching duo explained in a chat with ESPN.

Newell's presidential candidate leaves the pressure to Messi

In addition to the statements of the coaching staff, the candidate for the presidency of the club, Guillermo Munoz, also spoke about a possible arrival of Messi and left the pressure on Messi to decide whether to return or not.

"We first have to see if Messi wants to be linked with Newell's. Maybe I really want Messi to come, but it's not enough to just say, 'someday, someday'. I see Messi and it makes me cry. But that doesn't mean he's above the club at all," Munoz explained to TNT Sports.

Messi's arrival in Argentine soccer does not look easy, but in a country where soccer is in the air, fans will always believe in the impossible, and to see the best of all in their league would be the best end for the 2022 World Cup champion.
