Newell’s Old Boys, one of the most iconic clubs in Argentine football, is rekindling the hope of having Lionel Messi wearing their jersey once again. The possibility of the Rosario-born star returning to his hometown, where he began his professional career, generates excitement among both the club’s management and its fans, who dream of seeing the “10” leading the team on the local pitch.

Messi, currently in the final phase of his professional career, has maintained an emotional connection with Newell’s since his early days in the youth divisions. His return would not only provide a sporting boost but also have a huge symbolic and economic impact for the club. The presence of the global star would increase the team’s visibility in national and international tournaments and boost ticket sales, jerseys, and official merchandise, in addition to attracting sponsors.

In recent statements, club representatives have noted that, although nothing has been confirmed yet, Messi’s desire to return to his roots could align with Newell’s objectives. The management is working on strategic alternatives and proposals that could be attractive to the player and his team, fully aware that a negotiation of this kind requires careful planning and long-term agreements.

Fans, for their part, have begun expressing their excitement on social media and sports forums, recalling the history shared with Messi and his impact on world football. For Newell’s Old Boys, the return of the Rosario-born star would be much more than a reinforcement: it would be the realization of a historic dream, a symbol of pride and hope for the entire city of Rosario and Argentine football.

With every rumor and every statement, the expectation grows, and the club is once again dreaming of the return of the prodigal son who conquered the world with his talent.
