Newell’s Old Boys’ Management Wants to Bring Lionel Messi From Inter Miami in the Final Stretch of His Career

La Lepra's dream

The club where it all began, Newell’s Old Boys in Rosario, has a fan base that dreams of seeing one of the greatest players in history once again don the club’s jersey. Lionel Messi is longed for by La Lepra and has become one of Newell’s and its fans’ greatest desires, considering that La Pulga is in the final stretch of his career and Newell’s board could propose a mega-project to bring the Argentine star to South American soccer.

A dream that remains difficult, considering Lionel Messi’s situation at Inter Miami, where he seems comfortable and happy. However, Newell’s Old Boys is considering a “mega project” to get Lionel Messi to sign with the club where he began his football career.

Vice President Juan Manuel Medina confirmed in an interview with TN the existence of a megaproject by Lepra to dress Messi in red and black. “It’s a project that goes beyond Newell’s.” “It’s a project for the city of Rosario, the province, and Argentine soccer,” Medina declared. Although the executive did not explain the megaproject they are discussing in detail, he did emphasize that it will depend on the infrastructure and on offering a competitive sports framework, and that the star’s arrival is planned for next year.

Despite all the plans the Newell’s Old Boys board has in mind, the Argentine player has already signed a contract extension with Beckham’s Inter through the end of 2028. In any case, Lionel Messi has previously expressed his desire to have the opportunity to return to playing for his childhood club and wear the colors of La Lepra.
