Lionel Messi’s future with Argentina is under discussion after teammate Leandro Paredes suggested the decision about Messi’s international career has already been made. In comments reported by NDTV, Paredes indicated that Messi may have played his final match for Argentina, using language that points to a final outcome rather than an open-ended plan. The reports present the development as a hint from a teammate, not as an official announcement from Messi or the Argentina team.
The articles describe Messi as 39 years old and frame the possibility of retirement from international football as potential rather than confirmed. They also do not specify the match in question or provide details of any formal statement from Messi. Overall, the available information centers on Paredes’ remarks, which add to speculation about whether Messi will continue representing Argentina at the international level.
