The former defender expects his compatriot to
follow the same path he walked and retire at the
club where it all started for him
Former Argentina international
Gabriel Heinze does not
believe that Lionel Messi will
not retire at Barcelona,
claiming that a return to
Newell's Old Boys is inevitable.
Rosario native Messi
represented his hometown club as a kid before leaving
for Catalunya at the tender age of 13.
The prolific attacker has since developed into one of the
best players in the world and Heinze is confident that
he will return to the club where it all started for him
before he hangs up his boots.
"Messi will retire at Newell's, there's no need to
convince him of anything," Heinze told reporters.
"I don't see him wearing any other shirt in Argentina
than that of Newell's and he will retire at Newell's."
Like Messi, Heinze also started his career with Newell's
and retired at the Argentine side this year, bringing the
curtain down on a career that also took in stints with
Sporting CP, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United
and Real Madrid.
"I had played very few games in Argentina and never
thought of going back there to finish my career but the
last two years I spent with Newell's Old Boys were the
best of my life," the 36-year-old stated.
Four-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi has a contract with
Barcelona until June 2018.
