The five-time Ballon d'Or winner says he "would love" to end his career in South America, but leaving Barcelona is not yet on his radar

The 31-year-old has spent his entire senior career at the Camp Nou, having been signed by the club as a youth player in his early teens.

Messi has won 30 major trophies over the course of his 15 years at the club - including nine La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns - along with a whole host of individual awards.

While the Argentine talisman is unlikely to hang up his boots any time soon, he has admitted that he could end leaving Barcelona for a final goodbye at Newell's in the future.

"I would love that but it won't be easy, for all that it means going back to Argentina," Messi told Argentinian radio station Club Octubre 94.7 FM. "I must think about the kids and Thiago is starting to become a big boy, so he takes decisions together with us.

"Of course I would like to play for Newell's but I really don't know what is going to happen."
