"Lionel Messi is perhaps the best footballer ever to play the beautiful game - the Argentine has the individual accolades and collective success to prove it. A World Cup winner at long last in 2022, Messi left European football shortly thereafter to take on a new challenge with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. In the United States, Messi has won a Leagues Cup, a Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup with the franchise owned by David Beckham, which was inaugurated in 2018."
"We are working on Leo playing for Newell's in the first half of 2027, Newell's vice president Juan Manuel Medina told the Argentine newspaper, suggesting conversations had been taking place for some time dating back to 2024. It's a project that goes beyond Newell's. It's a project for the city of Rosario, the province, and Argentine football. It all depends on what we can offer in terms of infrastructure and a competitive sports program."
