Lionel Messi has recently provided a glimpse into his potential future endeavors after retiring from professional football.
The renowned Argentine superstar is poised to make his acting debut, indicating his interest in the world of entertainment.
Having achieved immense success in football, including four UEFA Champions League titles and seven Ballon d’Or awards, the 35-year-old has left an indelible mark on the sport.
Reports from Sportskeeda suggest that Messi will be appearing in the second season of the popular Argentine TV series ‘Los Protectores.’
The show revolves around the struggles of three football agents who have faced financial ruin and are in desperate need of money.
This acting opportunity allows Messi to explore his talents beyond the realm of football.
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.
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.
