Messi once again addresses his plans on where he'll play after Barcelona

It's always hard to imagine Lionel Messi wearing another club shirt other than Barcelona's. After all, he's been with the club for over a decade and has become the world's best player there. But what would a potential move away from Barca look like for the five-time Ballon d'Or award winner? It wouldn't be a move to Manchester, nor would it be to Paris. It would be to the Santa Fe province of his home nation Argentina.
Once again, Messi has stated that he would be open to playing in Argentina in the future. The 28-year-old would likely land at Newell's Old Boys, his boyhood club, if anywhere. After all, it's in his home city of Rosario and the club he grew up playing for as a youth talent.
"It's something that I would like to do. I don't know when, but it's a possibility," Messi told El Grafico.

"I haven't set myself any goals, short or long term, but I'd like to keep playing while my body allows it and I have something to offer the team."

Often we see big name players return to their clubs at the end of their careers, though the most recent example of Carlos Tevez at Boca Juniors sees him with several years left to play. It's hard to imagine Messi leaving Barcelona by say age 33, but Newell's is the club that makes the most sense. What a bidding war for those TV rights that would be, huh?
