Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has admitted he could make an appearance at the 2030 World Cup.
At this year’s tournament, Messi has already become the greatest goalscorer in the history of the competition.
He surpassed Miroslav Klose to take his total tally to 18 goals across six editions.
Despite turning 39 this week, Messi is showing no interest in discussing his retirement from the international stage.
When quizzed about the possibility of featuring in the 2030 World Cup, which will celebrate the tournament’s centenary, the Inter Miami star remained evasive but optimistic about his longevity. “I don’t know.
“The truth is, I’m not thinking about that right now. It seems a bit far off but, as I said, I’m living one day at a time and focused on the present,” Messi told reporters, per ANI.
The veteran forward, who has scored all five of Argentina’s goals in their opening two group matches against Algeria and Austria, insisted his continued participation depends entirely on his physical state.
