"Rosario's representing 'Newell's Old Boys' Maxi Rodriguez hopes that after the 2018 World Cup, Lionel Messi will join his team.
About returning to 'Newell's', where he started his career, the five-time 'Ballon d'Or' winner recently mentioned himself.
"I hope one day we will have the chance to see Messi playing for 'Newell's'," Rodriguez told Tyc Sports.
"I think if it happens, it will be after the 2018 World Cup in Russia. I don't believe there will be any opportunities before these championships."
"When we heard Messi's comments about wanting to return to 'Newell's' one day, the whole club experienced a revolution."
Let's remind that the current 29-year-old striker's contract with 'Barcelona' ends in June 2018."
