Lionel Messi chose his successor in football and it's neither Mbappe nor Haaland

It is no secret that Lionel Messi has been, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, the best footballer of our generation and of modern football. However, it is a reality that Lionel is already 35 years old, and although he still performs at the highest level, the Argentine could be thinking more about his retirement than about performing at the highest level.

In this context, right now Lionel Messi is a trend, since his father has denied the rumors that the Argentine would already have an agreement with Al Hilal. Jorge Messi assured that there is still nothing agreed and it is not yet known if he will go to FC Barcelona, the United States or the Asian continent.

The only thing that is known with a guarantee is that Lionel Messi already knows who will be the player who will be his successor in football. This is Julian Alvarez, who, at just 23 years old, is already a fundamental piece with Manchester City and has earned the praise of Pep Guardiola, just as Messi did at that same age.

How is the relationship between Messi and Julian?

Despite the fact that before November they did not have much of a relationship, the reality is that Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez had a special chemistry at the World Cup in Qatar. Lionel Messi witnessed the enormous talent that Julian made, and there he realized that Julian Alvarez has all the qualities to be the best player in the world, in some immediate future.
