Lionel Messi has hinted to the world what his next move might be when he finally quits professional football, with the Argentine superstar set to make his acting debut.

The 35-year-old superstar has arguably conquered football after winning almost every trophy in the sport, including four UEFA Champions League titles and seven Ballon d’Or awards.

According to Sportskeeda, Messi will feature in the second season of the popular Argentine TV series ‘Los Protectores’ whose story revolves around three footballers’ representatives who have gone bankrupt and are in dire need of money.

The second season of 'Los Protectores' will premiere on June 25 and features Adrian Suar, Andres Parra, Gustavo Bermudez and Lionel Messi as the star actors in the TV series.

Messi, who guided Argentina to the 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy, is yet to disclose his next football club with his current deal with Paris Saint-Germain set to expire this summer.

Messi to Chelsea transfer gains momentum

Meanwhile, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has been given a last-gasp chance to sign Lionel Messi for the struggling Premier League club this summer, Talk Sport reports.

Despite offers from all over the world, Messi wants to stay in Europe and win the Champions League again and the Blues will try to convince the 35-year-old to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.

While Chelsea will not be in the Champions League next season, owner Boehly will not be shy about splashing the cash, and a goal scorer is at the top of his wish list.

Messi meets with Barcelona captains

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Barcelona players got a break from training last week following their La Liga Santander title triumph against RCD Espanyol and the subsequent bus parade.

Though two are set to depart, the three club captains, Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto, and Jordi Alba travelled to Paris, where they met with former teammate Lionel Messi.

The three Barcelona veterans met with their former teammate over dinner in Paris last week and many things, including their club futures, were discussed.
