Lionel Messi has never hidden his desire to play for hometown club Newell's Old Boys and though his decision to leave Barcelona prompted dancing in the streets of Rosario on Thursday, most fans know he's probably not coming home just yet.
Officials and supporters of the club believe Messi will one day pull on their distinctive half red, half black shirt but they are aware that at the age of 33, Messi probably has a few more years in Europe before heading home for a romantic swan song.
Which club should Lionel Messi join if he manages to leave Barcelona this summer?"As a Newell's fan I want him to come here but we know it's impossible," Daniel Valvi, a 65-year old retiree, told reporters in Rosario, a city of 1.5 million people 300km northwest of Buenos Aires.
