Ex-Argentina international Gabriel Heinze predicts that Lionel Messi will one day return to former club Newell's Old Boys to see out his glittering career.

Lionel Messi will one day leave Barcelona to retire with former club Newell's Old Boys, according to fellow Argentine Gabriel Heinze.

The South American giants are credited with birthing the four-time Ballon d'Or winner, who joined the club at the age of eight in 1995 and left for Catalunya five years later.

Heinze also began and finished his career with La Lepra, and the former Manchester United defender expects Messi to take the same path.

"I don't see him wearing any other shirt in Argentina than that of Newell's and he will retire at Newell's," he is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"I had played very few games in Argentina and never thought of going back there to finish my career.

"But the last two years I spent with Newell's Old Boys were the best of my life".

Still only 27, Messi has fired 372 goals in 466 appearances throughout a 10-year spell in the Catalans' senior team.
