According to Agence France-Presse, the superstar player Lionel Messi’s move to Saudi Arabia despite Al-Hilal’s interest is finalized. As his contract with Les Parisiens expires in June, the Argentinian icon faces an uncertain future. There have been ideas that he is leaning towards leaving the club as a free specialist this late spring.
After Messi was suspended by the club for making an unapproved trip to Saudi Arabia last week, talk of him leaving PSG grew. Fabrizio Romano revealed that the forward is currently sure to leave the Ligue 1 heavyweight. The winner of the 2022 FIFA World Cup has been talked about returning to Barcelona, and Major League Soccer club Inter Miami is also interested in him.
Al-Hilal, on the other hand, is the only team that has made a firm offer for Messi thus far. Al-Hilal is ready to twist around in reverse to bait the seven-time Ballon d’Or victor to Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, it was reported that Messi does not support the move to the Middle East because he is concerned about the culture there.
It now appears that the nation has successfully persuaded the PSG superstar to reconsider. The 35-year-old will play in Saudi Arabia next season, according to the aforementioned source. According to AFP, Messi’s transfer to Saudi Arabia is “a done deal” according to a source close to the negotiations. The Argentinean team has not been named, but Al-Hilal is probably where he will play.
The report says that the contract is “huge,” but the deal’s finances have not been made public. When contacted by AFP for comment, PSG remained silent regarding Messi’s circumstances. According to reports, the French giants pointed out that the forward’s contract with them only runs through June 30.
Lionel Messi is unlikely to be signed by Barcelona :
After reluctantly letting go of Lionel Messi in 2021, Barcelona is eager to re-sign him. The Blaugrana were unable to pay the superstar’s wages, which is why he left Camp Nou two years ago. According to reports, the giants of La Liga have been attempting to resolve their financial issues in order to re-sign Lionel Messi.
However, as the forward appears to be moving to Saudi Arabia, Xavi’s team has run out of time. The megastar’s signing hopes for Inter Miami are also set to fail. Lionel Messi will leave PSG at the end of this summer, according to rumors. Since signing with the Parisians in 2021, he has played in 71 games across all competitions, scoring 31 goals and providing 34 assists.
