“As of today, I think it’s going to be my last club. I’m not ready to leave football either,” the forward told ESPN.
“It was a difficult step to leave Europe to come here. The fact of having been world champion helped a lot to see things differently also.
“I love playing football. I enjoy the training, every day of the matches. [I am] a little afraid that everything will end.
“That’s why I enjoy everything much more, because I’m aware that there’s less and less to go and I have a good time at the club.
“I enjoy the little details that I know I’m going to miss when I don’t play any more.”
36-year-old Messi will now focus on leading Argentina to defend the Copa America title they won in 2021.
