Messi Says He Might Not Play at the 2026 World Cup
Lionel Messi has admitted he is unsure about featuring at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Argentina captain, who scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Venezuela on Thursday, said he no longer enjoys the game when he isn’t at full fitness.
At 38, he acknowledged that it would be natural to consider stepping away from the biggest stage. “I’ve said before, I don’t think I’ll play another World Cup. At my age, it’s normal to think that way,” Messi told TyC Sports.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner explained that his decision will depend on how his body feels over the coming months. “I’ll take it match by match, finish the season, do preseason, and in six months, I’ll see how I feel,” he added. It could mark the last time Messi plays a World Cup qualifier in front of home fans.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
