Lionel Messi would have sent the message to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games next summer in Paris. A wish shared by Angel di Maria.

If he has not kept good memories of his time at PSG (2021-2023), Lionel Messi would not say no to returning to Paris. More precisely next summer during the 2024 Olympic Games.

The Argentine star of Inter Miami (MLS) would have expressed on several occasions, like Angel di Maria (Benfica Lisbon), his desire to be part of the Albiceleste team at the Paris 2024 Olympics, indicates the media local DirecTV Sports.

In gold, 16 years later, the challenge

A hypothesis validated by Javier Mascherano. The coach of Olympic Argentina won the gold medal of the tournament in 2008, in Beijing, notably in the company of… Lionel Messi and Angel di Maria.

Winners of the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 World Cup, Messi and Di Maria could see themselves being covered in gold 16 years later. Argentina will first have to obtain its ticket to Paris. The Olympic qualifications for the South America zone begin on the night of Saturday to Sunday (French time).
