Lionel Messi said Inter Miami will be the last club he plays for before he decides to hang up the cleats.
Although Messi, 36, is not ready to call it a career quite yet, he said he realizes his time in the sport is running out.
“Inter Miami will be my last club,” he told ESPN. “I love playing football. I enjoy everything much more because I am aware that there is less” left to play.
Messi, who has a contract with Inter Miami until the end of 2025, joined MLS last year after a 20-year run in Europe playing for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
“I’ve done this all of my life; I love playing ball. I enjoy the practices and the day-to-day, the games,” Messi said. “There’s a bit of fear that it’s all ending. It’s always there. It was a difficult step leaving Europe to come here.”
