[@coreymiskell410]

I think if a player like Modric could regularly play for Real Madrid still at 39 then surely 37 yo Messi could play for any top 5 club and perform well even if not for the full 90 minutes. He can still perform at that top level, look at his recent performances with Argentina, silly to suggest that he can't moreso he just doesn't want to anymore and he's earned the right not to.

[@Batistuta9i]

Thinking Messi can no longer cut it in a top league is illogical. Fact is, he's showing when fully fit he's still able to perform for Argentina. Not to mention, if a player like Lewandowski at 36 is still able to perform as he is then there is no reason why Messi at 37 wouldn't be more than capable. He's still a step ahead of the opposition in terms of his footballing brain, and has enough acceleration to be able to get away from defenders.

The last and only goal of Messi is probably play another WC for Argentina. Given his two COPA trophies and the ‘22 WC, and 8 Ballon d’Ors, he truly does not need to play in the top 5 leagues anymore. But who knows! Never say never! He can do magics even as a super sub❤❤

[@hao2000ki]

I'd sign Messi at Barca just so he can get subbed on late in the match and still be a luxury player and destroy defenses. He'd probably do a good job in the Dani Olmo role without destabilizing the structure too much against tired legs that won't take every chance to run at your defense every time you are out of possession. Or at least sign him to keep him in the club or even on the bench as emotional support or something and send him off properly. Most of the players love him and the fans want to see it too. Kinda like Barca resigning Dani Alves for a year before his retirement. Actually you know what, I think Messi at Inter would be an interesting fit. Of course there's always the option of Manchester City and I'm sure Guardiola will figure something out as well.

@Batistuta9i a well articulated response in support to a G.O.A.T. Time flies, dude, and it is important one flows with the trend. Is Messi one of the greatest to have played this game we all love, yes true, still dependable, yes when fit but as a club owner, will you be willing based on purely football reason minding the huge pay he is on to bring him in for few months probably to play some minutes with the intensity of the game and desire to win games on the pitch, your decision.

@@ajakajababa I appreciate that kind of response. Sorry my initial response was blunt; it's just I think the evidence is there to show he still has the capability to be able to perform in Europe. Granted, he has struggled more with injuries this past season, yet of course that can happen at any age. In any case, I don't think a loan will happen because it seems like he's content enough now to focus only on Miami and the games for Argentina. However, if he was open too it then although that's very true his wages wouldn't be cheap, a club would benefit from the revenue he generates.

Messi hasn't been running at Barcelona

[@auhmav04]

Lol. messi doesnt need to keep up with anything in top 5 leagues. He is a playmaker. He literally walks around the field most of the time. He aint a speed merchant like mpaypal

[@King.LM10]

its not about speed but messi even tho he's still smart and talented. he doesnt react quick any more and is more fragile now which would hold back a top team that needs a high intensity in so many games.

[@abduraxmaan450]

No way im seeing barca and city in comments 😭😭😭

[@elgallito1982]

Messi is clearly not fit to play in any top five team in any of the top 5 leagues in Europe.
