LIONEL MESSI’S World Cup dream might finally send him into the Premier League – aged 38.

The legend is tipped to consider a loan switch to a more competitive league ahead of Argentina’s WC title defence next summer.

Inter Miami are keen to extend Messi’s two-year contract beyond 2025.

But even if he does sign a new deal, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner could also squeeze in a temporary stint with a top-flight European club.

Reports in the icon’s home country claim Messi wants regular high-level games before the 2026 World Cup in America.

It means the ex-Barcelona attacker could move for several months.
