Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
The future of Lionel Messi has not finished agitating speculation and commentary. While his future is not at all assured with a contract that ends in a few months with PSG, the Pulga has been talking and in recent days, following the announcement of a columnist from the Spanish program El Chiringuito, it is a possible future in Saudi Arabia that has been mentioned, with a supposed desire of the Messi clan to obtain a jackpot in a country which has also welcomed Cristiano Ronaldo in recent months.
The Saudi track totally excluded
Except that obviously, the reality would be very different. Interviewed by Media Parisien, journalist Florent Torchut, correspondent for France Football who has been following Messi for many years, to the point of having written a biography on him, assured that a Saudi future for Messi was totally to be excluded. An exotic destination is indeed not at all in the plans of the Pulga which is still negotiating with PSG.
“The Saudi track is wrong for Messi. It’s windy. It has been confirmed to me that Jorge Messi has traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet the Saudi Minister of Sports and discuss a football school project for children. Regarding Leo’s future, it’s still status quo. He only discusses with PSG for next season. And if the negotiations fail, he will look for another club in Europe. Because he wants to continue playing at the highest level with a view to the Copa America 2024. Guarantees to extend to PSG? Leo always wanted the most competitive team possible to fight for all the titles. This was already the case when he was playing at Barça”.
To sum up
Lionel Messi has been linked in recent days to a move to Saudi Arabia where Cristiano Ronaldo now plays. We know more about the case. According to a specialist in the Messi case, this option is totally to be ruled out this summer.
