Lionel Messi’s next club ‘leaked’ by Sergio Aguero as he lets private conversation slip
Lionel Messi’s next club has been “leaked” by Sergio Aguero after he let slip their private conversation.
Paris Saint-Germain are yet to agree a new deal with Messi this season, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the current campaign. He has previously been linked with a move to MLS side Inter Miami as well as a potential return to former club Barcelona if he was to leave the French capital in the summer.
However, his first club Newell’s Old Boys, where he starred in the academy before heading to Barca, have now been revealed as a possible destination by Aguero.

Speaking to UOL, the former Manchester City star explained: “He is seriously considering the possibility of playing for Newell’s.”
Aguero’s slip of the tongue forced ex-Liverpool winger Maxi Rodriguez to step in and add: “Kun is Kun. He can’t keep quiet. We will see.
“It is hard to talk about this because then a giant ball of rumours is made. Let’s wait and see what happens. We will not get ahead of the facts.”

Messi is rumoured to be in line to appear in Rodriguez’s Newell’s testimonial later this year, with a match scheduled to celebrate his three spells with the club.
According to reports in Argentina, the club view Messi’s appearance in the testimonial as a makeshift trial ahead of a potential move to re-sign him once his PSG deal expires.
The World Cup winner spent five year’s in the academy at Newell’s and was also a ball boy for the club before he joined Barcelona’s famed La Masia youth set-up.

In 27 appearances this term, the 35-year-old has scored 16 goals and added 14 assists, already surpassing his tally for the whole of last season.
