No talks on Messi’s return to Argentina’s boyhood club – Report

Lionel Messi is not set to return to his childhood club, Newell’s Old Boys, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, despite recent rumors. The Argentine star is reportedly content at his current team, Inter Miami, and his family shares this sentiment. Messi has affirmed his intention to honor his contract, which extends until at least the end of 2028, though a potential lengthening of the deal remains a possibility to be determined later.

While speculation in Argentine media has surged over the past day, suggesting a closer approach to a return to Rosario by January 2027, these claims seem to have exaggerated the circumstances. Newell’s has shown interest in reuniting with Messi for a brief stint later in his career, but no formal talks are currently underway.
