According to a specialist in genetics, it could be possible to “clone” the 31-year-old Barça forward.

Yes, you read that right.

Arcadi Navarro told Mundo Deportivo that it would be possible to make a “twin” of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner with the current techniques at their disposal.

“Yes, we could clone Messi with the current techniques and we would get something very similar to him. It would be like as if two twins had been born and one had been frozen 20 or 30 years ago.”

But, before anyone gets too excited, despite the fact that the appearance and physical qualities would be identical, the cloned subject would have to go through a development and learning phase similar to that of the Barça star in order to acquire the same skills.

“This person would have the same potential, but his [Messi’s] qualities have a genetic component as well as others that are based on his education and environment. Messi is not who he is only because of genetics, but also for everything he has lived through, his education, his life in La Masia, the treatment he received. Genetics give us potential, it is then our job to complete it.”

Of course, that also means a certain Cristiano Ronaldo could also be cloned, and the comparison debate could start all over again.

Messi will turn 32 this June and it is hardly surprising that Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu has already started the planning of life after Lionel Messi. In a recent interview with BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily, he said:

“I know one day Lionel will say he’s retiring. We have to prepare the club for the future.

“We are bringing great young players to the team because we need to continue this era of success. That’s our responsibility.”

Though science has come a long way since the creation of life on Earth, creating another Messi with all the attributes he possesses is almost next to impossible.

However, if there is one percent chance of renewing Messi magic for another 10 years then we would love to hope without any kind of complaints.
