Why does he have to be bored? As you said Barca is one of the top clubs globally, a dream for almost all the kids that play football to be there as players. He was there from the start of his career, he became one of the two top players and he is been treated like a king. For sure to chase new challenges is something that a lot of people want and gives them a boost to continue but that's not necessary or sure.
I don't know what are his plans for the future but to be a coach doesn't have to be in many teams as a player. In fact, you may be a coach without being a player. Grin

If the guy is bored, it would not have anything to do with a club. Some football player have been know to just stop liking the sport after they made enough millions. I do remember an old case, Romario, that used to play for Real Madrid, and after a few seasons he stopped training at the highest level, kept on playing footvolley with his friend at the beach and was obviously overeating to the point in he could no longer be considered an elite player. Yet that is absolutely normal... they earn so much that they no longer give a s*th about it.

If Messi were one of those player, we would have already known about it.

That is not the case for many others though, look at Ronaldo, dude is older and he still takes care of his body insanely, dude has better body than almost all the 20 year old players you can find, he is really training at the maximum capacity for each season and he can still do a lot more than anyone else on the pitch when he plays as well even though he is aging rapidly.

I understand that there will be a day when even Ronaldo can't beat father time and that is why he will have to retire but he is at least not giving up until the last moment, giving up is not something that should be praised, it should be something shamed. Messi is not like that neither, dude is still a great player and I am sure he will keep playing at a very good level even if he ends up with another team, he doesn't seem to be gaining weight and stop caring, he just didn't sign a contract but he also won the cup as well, so he is still quite good.
