Lionel Messi has reportedly accepted a new deal to stay at Barcelona, one that could keep the Argentine attacker at the famed club till he’s 39-years old. But MLS could still be a final stop for one of the best players in the history of the game.

And it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Lionel Messi make a move to MLS at some point before that, especially if the La Liga side wants to shed salaries further.
