Lionel Messi continues to create uncertainty about his future with the national team. In an interview with ESPN, the 38-year-old Argentine once again hinted that he is not sure he will participate in the 2026 World Cup, even as Argentina prepares to defend its title.
Lionel Messi absent from the World Cup? A prospect that haunts Argentina. Despite his consistently high level at Inter Miami and his regularity in recent months, the Albiceleste captain refuses to look ahead.
“I hope to be there. I would love to be there. At worst, I will be present on site. Let it wait. I will prepare seriously. I will make my decision over the months, being sincere and realistic,” he explained when asked about the necessity of booking tickets for the World Cup.
Messi, the King of False Suspense?
Messi, the king of teasing? The little flea has been casting doubt among Argentine supporters for months, but it is hard to see how he could miss this event. France will want revenge, and surely, Messi will want to help Argentina retain its title. The answer will come in less than six months.
