Newells is optimistic about getting Messi

Lionel Messi has spoken many times before about his desire to return to Newell's old age. The Argentine club is also hoping that one of the best footballers of all time will return to their yard in the future. That hope was also heard in the voice of the party's vice-president Christian Damico.

Messi, who left the Argentine club Newells for Barcelona in 2001, has won the Footballer of the Year award a record six times in his career.

Messi, the record scorer in the history of Barcelona, ​​has said at various times that he wants to return to his childhood club before taking off his boots. Ever heard of retiring from Camp Nou?

However, Damico is optimistic that Messi will return in the future, just as Diego Maradona joined the Newells after finishing the European chapter in 1993. Damiko told TNT Sports on Wednesday.

"I don't know if it's impossible. The decision must be made by him (Messi) and his family. And we need to have the best possible environment to help him make that decision. ”

"When Maradona came to Newell's, no one thought he would come. I am hopeful that something similar will happen to Leo. ”

Barcelona has renewed their contract with Messi, who signed his first professional contract in 2004, six times. Its release clause has increased to 600 million euros. His current contract with the Catalan team expires next year. According to media reports, the contract will be extended until 2023. Damiko is therefore in favor of patience.

"It simply came to our notice then. Wouldn’t Newell’s fans dream of seeing the best player in the world in their jersey? Only time will tell, so be patient. ”
