Lionel Messi won\'t factor age when he decides to retire and will instead make the call on whether he is contributing to his team. Messi\'s Inter Miami deal ends in December 2025.
\"I know that the moment that I know that I\'m not performing, that I\'m not enjoying myself, that I\'m not helping my teammates,\" Messi told MBC\'s Big Time Podcast.
\"I am very self-critical. I know when I am good, when I am bad, when I play well, when I play badly... And when I feel it is time to take that step, I will take it without thinking about age. If I feel good, I will always try to continue competing, because it is what I like and what I know how to do.\"
Messi will play for Argentina in Copa America this summer.
\"Had things not gone the way they did [in the tournament in Qatar], I would have left the national team,\" Messi said.
Messi turns 37 in June.
