Argentine football prez: Lionel Messi alone will decide when to retire

Messi, who turned 39 on June 24, has given no indication when he might retire from international football or how much longer he intends to play for Inter Miami in the MLS.

Especially after witnessing what Lionel Messi was still capable of at this summer’s World Cup, the president of the Argentina Football Association is not rushing the all-time great out the door.
