Argentina club Newell’s Old Boys is working on a plan to bring two-time MLS MVP Lionel Messi home next year.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A team executive confirmed that it’s trying to entice Messi to return to his boyhood club for the first half of 2027.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

“It’s a project that goes beyond Newell’s. It involves the city of Rosario, the province, and Argentine football,” first vice president Juan Manuel Medina said, according to an ESPN story published Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Messi, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner as the world’s best player, signed an extension with defending MLS Cup champion Inter Miami in October that runs through the end of the 2028.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Inter Miami will open the 2026 MLS season on Feb. 21 at Los Angeles FC. Messi also is preparing to defend Argentina’s World Cup championship this summer in North America.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
