Barcelona legend Lionel Messi has given a glimpse of his biggest plans after ending his career as the greatest footballer of all time.
The Argentina captain made his first appearance at the American Business Forum near Miami, yesterday.
In addition to the football icon, the event was also attended by United States (US) President Donald Trump, FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali.
Messi, 38, stated that he has had a long career and is still continuing it, but is now increasingly focusing on past achievements and future plans.
He admitted that a career in football does not last forever and every player will definitely find an end point in their journey.
The Inter Miami player also expressed his desire to continue playing until the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner stated that the world of business is now increasingly interesting to him, and he intends to explore it more deeply.
Messi also plans to support small businesses and youth through strategic investments after his retirement.
In his pursuit of entrepreneurship, he aims to ensure his legacy continues to inspire beyond the sporting arena.
