• The forward was painted in an Argentine away jersey
• Messi inspired Argentina to their first World Cup win since 1986

Another beautiful mural of Lionel Messi surfaced in the capital city of Argentina on the walls of a building just overlooking a train station as a tribute to his 2022 World Cup triumph in Qatar.

In the mural, Messi is painted in the deep purple away jersey of the Albiceleste with the country's flag behind him.

This is not the first time that Messi has taken over the walls of Buenos Aires. Goal in collaboration with Boedo Artistic Group, created a mural in honour of the forward earlier in the year.

Moreover, an Argentine artist named Maxi Bagnasco had also offered his tribute to the player with a mural where Messi is seen holding the trophy aloft, dressed in a Bisht, while Emiliano Martinez is behind him with his arms raised in joy.

Messi’s Club future undecided

Since announcing his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, Messi has been linked to many clubs in Europe, America and to the Middle East.

According to reports from L’Équipe, the last 48 hours have seen Jorge Messi meet with both Barcelona as well as a Saudi delegation, and talks have recently taken place with Inter Miami as well – for the time being, there is no clear indication as to which continent the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will be playing in next season.

Although the Argentine ostensibly favours a return to Catalonia, the La Liga side’s recent financial difficulties have made a transfer unviable – however, Barcelona have also seen their economic viability plan approved by the league authorities.

In any case, they will need to reduce their wage bill to secure Messi’s return.

In order to convince the Argentine of the feasibility of the move, one option could be for the names of the players who are not in Xavi’s plans for next season to be circulated in the media, in order to encourage them to find a new club.

It remains to be seen, though, whether the Catalans’ efforts will be enough to turn their all-time top scorer away from lucrative offers from the USA and Saudi Arabia.
