He was born in Rosario Santa Fe, on June 24, 1987. he is the third of four children.

His passion brought him to the local club Grandoli, when he was just 4 years old, where his father was already coaching him.

He joined Rosario Club Newells at age six; were he scored nearly 500 goals as part of the youth team.

However, at the age of 10, he experienced the worst moments, when he could end his career, but he did not, so what happened? at the age of 10 he was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency. Growth hormone deficiency is a medical condition, that occurs when the pituitary gland does not produce enough growth hormone, which responsible for growth in children and adults.

This condition threatened not only his physical development, but also the aspirations for his football career. Initially, there was a hope when Newell's Old Boys club, agreed to support his treatment. But that hope was short, as the club withdrew its promise, leaving Messi and his family in a precarious situation. He must have felt really stressed and worried, dealing with the fear of being kept away from the sport he loved.

however, He was scouted by River Plate, but they did not sign him, because of his health. So, at the age of 13, 

messi family manage to arrange a trial at Barcelona, in September 2000, leveraging their relatives in Catalonia.

after the trial he impress the board. First-team director of Barcelona, Charly Rexach was much eager to sign Messi, although the board of the club was quite hesitant, due to the uncommon signing of such a young foreign player.

On December 14, after issuing an ultimatum, Rexach demonstrated the club's commitment by offering Messi a contract on a paper napkin. in 2024, same napkin was sold  at auction for £762400



In February 2001, Messi's family relocated to Barcelona, settling into an apartment near Camp Nou. However, Messi faced difficulties in adapting to his new environment, as he rarely played with the Infantiles due to a transfer conflict with Newell's, which limited him to friendlies. This lack of playtime led to struggles and homesickness 

After spending a year at Barcelona’s youth academy, Messi was enrolled in the Royal Spanish Football Federation in February 2002.  During this time, he formed friendships with teammates like Cesc Fàbregas and Gerard Piqueé. 

He also benefited from his medical treatment, and his growth hormone therapy. at age 14, Messi became an integral part of the youth side.
