Who will lead Argentinian football once Messi retires?

As Lionel Messi approaches the twilight of his storied career, the question on every fan’s lips is: who will take the torch? Messi’s influence on and off the pitch is unparalleled, but Argentina’s depth suggests a strong next generation is ready. Making the 1xBet download procedure is quite simple, and doing so will also allow you to bet on Argentinian footballers on the go.

In 1st place we have Julián Álvarez. He has surged into prominence and being only 24 years old has already impressed in 4 teams:

Sergio Agüero specifically named him as a future leader, praising his work ethic, positional intelligence, and versatility in attack. Despite being quite young, he is already vital for both club and country. He has also scored in 2 big tournaments: the World Cup and the Copa América. In the 2 of them he has also shown talent and leadership potential. If you download the 1xBet application it will also be possible to bet on those football competitions too.

Other players who will continue pushing Argentinian football forward

Another of Agüero’s picks, Alexis Mac Allister impressed at Brighton before cementing his status at Liverpool. It is very simple to make a 1xBet login, and with it, you will be able to bet on Liverpool and other Premier League teams too.

Renowned for his tactical acumen and consistency, he's become a midfield lynchpin for Argentina. His ability to dictate tempo and lead in big games positions him as a natural successor.

Enzo Fernández is a 3rd name worth mentioning. The midfielder who dazzled at Benfica and earned a high-profile move to Chelsea continues to earn rave reviews. Also identified by Agüero among future captains, Fernández displays calmness under pressure and command in midfield. Despite club-level challenges, his international performances remain solid. Speaking about Chelsea, at 1xBet you can login to start betting on this team in no time.

Despite being relatively younger, Cristian “Cuti” Romero has grown into a commanding presence under Scaloni, and for this reason he is a 4th name worth mentioning. His performances at Tottenham highlight his potential as both defensive leader and captain.

Coach Lionel Scaloni has already begun reshaping Argentina’s style, prioritizing 3 elements: width, pressing and midfield dynamism. This means the team isn’t overly dependent on a single superstar. This tactical evolution supports a collective leadership model, with responsibilities shared across key players. Scaloni himself insisted that rebuilding around successors is crucial, emphasizing team identity over individual brilliance.
