L. Messi expressed a desire to return to Argentina

Despite previously mentioning that he would end his career at his current club, "Barcelona" star Lionel Messi hinted at wanting to return to his hometown club "Newell's Old Boys" in the future.

The striker left this team and went to Catalonia at the age of just thirteen. As the British saying goes - the rest is history.

The 29-year-old footballer already has five Ballon d'Or awards and a host of club titles to his name.

"I would gladly return," Messi said. "It is something I always have in mind, as I dreamed about it in my childhood."

"Of course, changes have occurred in my life and it has taken a different path, but I have no regrets."

"I want to play in Argentina and at 'Newell's' - there, where I grew up."
