Astronomical contract for Messi in Arabia! Al-Hilal offers twice as much as Ronaldo takes

What is the future of Lionel Messi? It’s almost certain that it won’t be in Paris. The Argentine footballer wants to leave the Parc des Princes and the question is where that will be. So Saudi Arabia, which has already lured Cristiano Ronaldo, has once again come forward.

Two years in Paris and that’s enough. Lionel Messi has no intention of staying at PSG, where he is currently the enemy of the fans. They boo him at home games, even the management is reportedly not opposed to his departure.

So it is no wonder that Messi wants to leave PSG, such treatment is not needed by one of the two best footballers in history.

Just where will it go? Of course, Messi is most tempted by a return to his beloved Barcelona, which even the vice-president of the Blaugranas has admitted to. But this will not be easy due to the club’s poor financial situation.

But the poor financial situation is not at all solved in Saudi Arabia. On the contrary, they have money to throw around. Already in the winter this country caused a big fuss when it lured the best goal scorer in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo, and gave him an astronomical salary of 200 million euros per year.

Until now, the highest paid player was Kylian Mbappé, who receives 66 million euros a year. And this time, we would have jumped twice as much in the charts.

Indeed, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Al-Hilal is offering Messi 400 million euros per year. An absolutely unthinkable sum, unprecedented in sport.

Messi’s priority, however, is to stay in Europe, at least until Copa América 2024. The 35-year-old footballer must now wait to see if Barcelona can fight the financial fair-play and manage to compress the salary cap enough to accommodate the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
