BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 7. Argentine national team and Inter Miami footballer Lionel Messi may take part in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the head coach of the U-23 national team Javier Mascherano said, Trend reports via İdman.biz.
He noted that although the participation in Paris 2024 of the 37-year-old forward, who will play in the America's Cup in the main national team this summer, seems unlikely, negotiations continue.
"I talked to him, we sent a formal offer to join us for the Olympics. Our negotiations are still ongoing. We have time until Paris 2024.
