Nevertheless, he stated before the competition that he would not be returning for the 2026 edition of the global event, and he reinforced that position last month while unveiling his next transfer to MLS team Inter Miami. Recently, in an interview with TV Publica, when he was questioned by his Argentina national teammates, he reiterated that he is nearing the end of his career and that his international retirement “will be close,” although he did not give a specific date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetmelodiesfm.com\/mls-timetable-warning-from-ex-barcelona-teammates-sergio-busquets-and-lionel-messi-spectacular-inter-miami-moves-are-met-with-riqui-puigs-reaction\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"84070\">MLS timetable warning from ex-Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi \u2018Spectacular\u2019 Inter Miami moves are met with Riqui Puig\u2019s reaction.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetmelodiesfm.com\/david-beckham-discusses-why-inter-miami-signed-lionel-messi-and-how-the-shocking-trade-prompted-a-million-texts\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"84027\">David Beckham discusses why Inter Miami signed Lionel Messi and how the shocking trade prompted a \u201cmillion texts.\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked when he will stop playing for the Argentina national team by Exequiel Palacios, Messi replied: \u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t know until when. I think it will happen when it has to happen. After having achieved everything recently, the only thing left to do is to enjoy. God will say when that moment will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLogically, because of my age, I\u2019m sure it will be soon. But I don\u2019t know exactly when will be the right time. I think about the day-to-day, enjoying everything beautiful. We had to go through very hard times in the national team. We were fortunate enough to be World Cup and Copa America champions. It\u2019s time to enjoy,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Paulo Dybala asked Messi if he is human, and whether he gives much thought to how much he has achieved in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“When you are always competing, when you always have goals ahead of you, you don\u2019t value much what you really deserve, what you are achieving,” he said. “I am at a moment in my career where I enjoy everything that happens to me and I value everything much more because I know that these are the last years. But I think that when I retire and I\u2019m not playing anymore, I will value all of this much more. And even more so the fact of being a World champion, which will last a lifetime, especially in a country like ours, that is so fond of football, so grateful for it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IN TWO PHOTOS:<\/strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lionel Messi World Cup trophy\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt12dbddde5342ce4c\/648866ff21a8556da61fa167\/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-13T135350.847.png?resize=696%2C392&ssl=1\">Getty<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"messi world cup\" width=\"696\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https:\/\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assets.goal.com\/v3\/assets\/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5\/blt3efd08acdfda3074\/644a1d3427b69325539255e0\/messi_world_cup.jpg?resize=696%2C396&ssl=1\">(C)Getty Images<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT NEXT?\u00a0<\/strong>Messi has already landed in Florida and is set to be presented as a new Inter Miami player in a\u00a0\u00a0‘<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en\/news\/lionel-messi-inter-miami-set-date-major-unveiling-event-sergio-busquets-jordi-alba\/blt02804dec71ac94ec\">major unveiling event’<\/a>\u00a0that will be held on July 16 at 8 pm ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lionel Messi, who is set to join Inter Miami, has stated that he would retire from Argentina “soon” after approaching “the latter years” of his career.
