NEW DELHI: Argentina International Cup profitable captain Lionel Messi expresses dubiousness in regards to the precise past when he’s going to in the end come to a decision to vacate from world football.
“Even I don’t know when. It’ll happen when it happens,” the 36-year-old stated in an interview broadcast on Argentine tv on Wednesday.
“After winning everything I want to enjoy the moment and wait for time to tell me when it’s the moment,” stated the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
“Logically, given my age, one would expect it to be soon, but I don’t know for sure.
“Now that we’re American champions (Argentina gained the 2021 Copa The united states) and global champions we need to revel in that.”

He reiterated earlier comments that he was unlikely to be in Argentina’s squad when they defend their World Cup title in 2026.
The interview was conducted in China last month, when Messi scored the quickest goal of his career after just 79 seconds in a 2-0 friendly win against Australia in Beijing.
On Tuesday, Messi arrived in Florida to put the final touches on his move to US Major League Soccer club Inter Miami from Paris Saint-Germain.
He is expected to put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year deal, reported to be worth $60 million a year, before being presented to fans at a stadium event on Sunday.
