Although there are still three years left until the 2026 World Cup, legendary Argentine Lionel Messi is already talking about his distant career plans.

According to the forward, he does not see himself participating in the football fiesta in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

"I think not. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar was the last one in my career.

We'll see how everything unfolds, but probably I won't go to the future World Cup," said the 35-year-old veteran.

It's worth noting that recently it was officially announced that the footballer who left Paris Saint Germain has joined Miami Inter team.
