Argentina defender Nicolas Tagliafico believes that Lionel Messi can play at the 2026 World Cup.
"Do you know what is the key point for him? Winning the Copa America next year. If we win the Copa America, I think he can last a little longer.
If we hadn't won the World Cup in Qatar, he would have left. But Leo did and he wants to enjoy the months after the World Cup. But if we go to the US and win the America's Cup, he'll want to continue. If we win the Copa America, I'm sure Messi can stay," La Nacion quoted Tagliafico as saying.
