Newell Old Boys Chairman Astorre said in an interview with Cadena3 that although it is difficult to achieve, he still dreams of getting Messi back to the club.

"We always hope that Messi can wear the Newell Old Boy's jersey again, even if it's just one game, eight, six, four, one game. But in reality, this is the goal we have been working on. Although it's far away from the goal at the moment, I have maintained good communication with his family, and we have not communicated directly with him. This is a very difficult thing, but this does not mean that it won't be easier in the future.

Astorre said that whether Messi can join the Newell Old Boy depends not only on his personal wishes: "There is no doubt that Messi will be willing to come back. As long as he has the chance, he will wear the Newell Old Boy's jersey, and even let his children wear it. But there are many other factors involved, such as contract terms, family arrangements, and educational issues. We need to consider whether Messi has a termination clause and the details of his contract. We also need to consider Messi's family's various needs, including children's education issues, etc. These are not simple things. ”
