The former Blaugrana star is not expecting a six-time Ballon d’Or winner to head out of Camp Nou any time soon, but admits circumstances could change
Lionel Messi “won’t retire anytime soon”, says Barcelona legend Rivaldo, but he may be tempted to seek a new challenge away from Camp Nou in “the next couple of years”.
The mercurial Argentine recently conceded that “retirement is approaching” for him at 32 years of age.
There is no suggestion that he is planning on hanging up his boots in the near future, with 2019 having delivered a sixth Ballon d’Or triumph of his remarkable career.
