The eldest son of Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, Thiago, could participate in the Newell's Cup with Inter Miami from the United States at the end of November at the Jorge Griffa Complex in Rosario. This event raises great expectations among Newell's Old Boys supporters, who dream of seeing the captain of the Argentine National Team wearing the red and black jersey at some point in his career.
Although the possibility of Lionel Messi playing in his hometown is complicated, the presence of a Messi on Rosario's field is not ruled out. In this case, it would be Thiago, the eldest of Messi's children, who is currently part of the youth divisions of Inter Miami in the United States. The Florida team has been invited to participate in the Newell's Cup, a youth tournament organized by the red and black club.
This year's edition of the Newell's Cup will feature teams from the 2012 category, including Newell's Old Boys, Colón de Santa Fe, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, Peñarol, Montevideo City Torque from Uruguay, and Universitario de Perú. The tournament will take place from November 25 to 29 at the Jorge Griffa Complex, and Inter Miami will have a prominent presence facing Newell's on the first date, Colón de Santa Fe on the second date, and Peñarol on the third date.
