Lionel Messi next club: Sergio Aguero reveals private chat about his future | OneFootball

Lionel Messi could make a stunning return to Newell's Old Boys.

The Argentina superstar, 35, is understood to be currently weighing up his future at Paris Saint-Germain.

That is according to his close friend and former teammate Sergio Aguero.

Messi is reportedly set to open contract extension negotiations with PSG having signed a two-year deal with the French club in 2021.

Should he leave the Parc des Princes, there are only a number of clubs in the world that can afford to pay his wages - which are reportedly worth £43 million per year.

Where will Lionel Messi play next?

However, he is now thought to be 'seriously' considering a move to his boyhood club.

Messi, a lifelong fan of 'The Lepers', joined the Rosario club when he was six years old.

After scoring almost 500 goals as a member of 'The Machine of '87', La Liga giants Barcelona agreed a deal to bring him to Spain where he became arguably the best player in the world.

PSG snapped him up as a free agent after his contract expired two years ago and he has been a hit ever since, scoring the winning goal that helped his side wrap up the Ligue 1 title last year.

The World Cup winner has been a key player once again this season and manager Christophe Galtier will be keen to keep hold of the 35-year-old for a few more years at least.

What has Sergio Aguero said about Lionel Messi?

But Aguero claims he could return home to his native country after living abroad for so many years.

Aguero told UOL: "He is seriously considering the possibility of playing for Newell's."

However, their mutual friend Maxi Rodriguez scolded him light-heartedly for apparently letting the cat out of the bag.

He added: "Kun is Kun. He can't keep quiet. We will see.
