Argentine : Jorge Messi, père de Lionel Messi, est décédé
Argentine football is in mourning. Jorge Messi, father and agent of Lionel Messi, has died at the age of 68 in a clinic in Rosario, after a long battle with illness, according to several Argentine media outlets.
A key figure in the Argentine star's inner circle, Jorge Messi played a pivotal role in shaping his son's career. Long before Lionel Messi became one of the greatest figures in football history, he was by his side, supporting him through the early challenges of his career.
When young Lionel was still playing for Newell's Old Boys, Jorge Messi notably campaigned to ensure his son received the medical treatment he needed. This family struggle would continue a few years later when the family moved to Spain, where the young prodigy joined FC Barcelona and began an extraordinary adventure.
Over the years, Jorge Messi became much more than just an agent. He was one of Lionel Messi's main advisors, but also a very present father figure during important moments in his career.
Discreet and not drawn to the limelight, he has nonetheless been a constant presence around his son during the major milestones of his career. From his first steps at Barça to the numerous successes achieved with the Catalan club and the Argentinian national team, Jorge Messi has been there for Lionel through both moments of glory and more difficult times.
In recent years, his health had caused considerable concern within the family. Jorge Messi's absence from some major events had been particularly noticeable, while Lionel Messi had repeatedly shown his emotion when discussing his father's situation.
With his passing, Lionel Messi loses one of his most loyal supporters and the man who accompanied him from the very beginning of his extraordinary career. For the Messi family, this loss marks another painful chapter after decades dedicated to the rise and protection of one of the most influential players in football history.
