On June 24, 2024, Lionel Messi will celebrate his 37th birthday. An age which inevitably raises the question of sporting retirement, for a player having signed his first professional contract in 2004.
In the 16th episode of Big Time podcast published this Wednesday (in which French actor Jean Reno also appears), the Argentine striker addressed the subject.
Rare in the media, Lionel Messi admitted “not yet thinking” about retirement from sport. “I try to enjoy every day, every moment, without thinking about the future,” he said.
The top scorer of the Argentine selection (106 goals) did not take part in the friendly matches against El Salvador and Costa Rica due to a hamstring injury. The duration of his absence is still unknown.
