Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has revealed his desire to play in the US before retiring.
Messi made the revelation in a recent interview as he commented on his future at the club.
The Argentine forward can begin negotiations with overseas clubs in January with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do yet,” Messi told Spanish television channel La Sexta.
“I’m going to wait until the season ends. I would like to play in the United States and experience life and the league there, but ultimately come back to Barcelona in some capacity.
“Right now the most important thing is to focus on the team and finish the season well, to focus on trying to win trophies and not get distracted by other things.”
Messi tried to leave Barcelona during the summer transfer window. He handed in a transfer request which resigned President Bartomeu ignored.
