• Messi confirms the US will be his final destination
• World Cup winner has been linked to return to Argentina

Inter Miami will be the last club Lionel Messi plays for, the 36-year-old said on Wednesday, adding he feels “a little bit scared” at the thought of the day he decides to retire.

Messi, who won the World Cup with Argentina in 2022, has a contract with the Major League Soccer side until 2025 after his arrival last summer after a spell with French champions PSG. He has long been linked to a return to his boyhood club Newell’s Old Boys. But Messi told ESPN he will finish his career in the US.
