Despite previously suggesting he would end his career at Barcelona, Lionel Messi has indicated a desire to play for Newell's Old Boys.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi says he wants to play for boyhood club Newell's Old Boys before the end of his career.

Messi left Newell's for Barca at the age of 13 and has gone on to become one of the greatest players of all time, winning the Ballon d'Or on five occasions.

The 29-year-old has previously indicated a desire to end his career in Catalonia, but he appeared drawn to a Newell's return during an interview with Telefe's Polemica en el Bar in his homeland.
