Lionel Messi said in an interview with SPORT that he wanted to end his career at Barcelona. However he may one day end up playing for Newell's Old Boys.

"I always said I don't want to leave Barcelona, I don't have the idea of leaving," he told TyC Sports in an interview. "I have the dream of being able to play at Newell's in Argentine football, but I don't know if realisitically it will happen, because I have a family that comes before my desire. 

"It's a reality, I dreamed of since I was little but I have a family, I have three children, I live in a place that gave me everything and where I am calm, and I can give my kids a spectacular future. We think much more about that than my desire to play in Argentine football.

 

"I'll try to convince the family, because now you have to convince the kids too. Thiago is big now, he's got his friends and he doesn't like it at all when we go to Argentina for a month, he wants to be with his friends and it's all harder."
