Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has spoken about whether national team forward Lionel Messi will participate in the World Cup-2026.
Sporskeeda quotes Scaloni:
We cannot talk right now about what will happen in 3 years. It would be great for football, but I cannot say if Messi will be there in 2026, and I don’t even know if I will be there.
It should be noted that Messi World Cup-2026 may become the sixth in Messi’s career, which will be a record among all players who played at World Cups.
At the moment, the 36-year-old forward plays in MLS for Inter Miami. In the current season, the Argentine has played 11 matches, scoring 11 goals and making five assists in all competitions. Transfermarkt website estimates the transfer value of the player at €35 million.
