As Lionel Messi prepares to leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and begin a new chapter of his career with MLS side Inter Miami, he has some parting advice for his former teammate Kylian Mbappe. Messi has urged the young superstar to find a new challenge and follow in his footsteps by joining either Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Mbappe, who is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the world, has been linked with a move away from PSG for some time. The 22-year-old has been a key player for the French club since joining in 2017, but has yet to make a move to one of Europe's top clubs.
In a recent interview with Spanish newspaper Marca, Messi spoke about Mbappe's future and offered some advice to the young striker. "I think he's a great player and he has the potential to be one of the best in the world," Messi said. "But I think he needs to find a new challenge and push himself to the next level."
Messi, who won seven Ballon d'Or awards during his time at Barcelona, also suggested that Mbappe should follow in his footsteps and join one of the Spanish giants. "If he wants to win the Golden Ball, he needs to play for either Barcelona or Real Madrid," Messi said. "Those are the teams that have the history and the prestige to win that award."
Messi's advice to Mbappe comes as no surprise, as the two players have a close relationship. Mbappe has spoken in the past about how Messi has been a role model for him and how he has learned from the Argentine's success.
Mbappe's future has been a hot topic in the football world for some time, with many speculating about where he will end up. Real Madrid has been the most heavily linked club, with reports suggesting that the Spanish giants are preparing a massive bid for the Frenchman.
Barcelona, on the other hand, has been going through a period of transition in recent years, but the club's new president, Joan Laporta, has made it clear that he wants to bring in top talent to rebuild the team.
As for Messi, he is looking forward to his new challenge with Inter Miami. The Argentine superstar signed a two-year deal with the MLS club earlier this month, ending his 21-year association with Barcelona.
While Messi's departure from Barcelona was a shock to many, he is excited about the opportunity to start fresh in the United States. "I'm looking forward to a new challenge and a new adventure," Messi said. "I think it's going to be a great experience for me and my family."
As for Mbappe, only time will tell where his future lies. But with Messi's advice ringing in his ears, it's clear that the young striker has some big decisions to make in the coming months.
