“Barcelona Believes Messi Will Join Al Hilal: Reports”

Barcelona believe Lionel Messi will join Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, according to reports. Al-Monitor, a Middle East media outlet, reported that a Barcelona official said this and that they hope Messi will not return to Barca.

According to the report, Barcelona do not currently have the financial situation to bring back Messi and the offer put forward by Al Hilal will never be given to Barcelona.

Messi’s father and agent, Jorge Messi, came out with a response when the rumors of Messi going to Al Hilal spread widely. He said that Messi has not yet made a decision about the club change and will only think about it at the end of this season.

But the news agency France Press has reported that he said so to protect the player from criticism against Messi and that it is certain that Messi will go to the Saudi Arabian club.

At the same time, when the contract with PSG was about to expire, Messi left the country without the club’s permission, leading to great controversy. The PSG star was suspended for two weeks for visiting Saudi Arabia with Messi’s family instead of training at the club. Soon after, a report came out that Messi will leave PSG at the end of this season.

Messi’s visit to the Middle East followed the defeat in the match against Lorient in League One. It was reported that Messi, who is the ambassador of Saudi Arabian tourism, had asked permission from PSG, but the star had not received the permission and then Messi was going to Saudi on his own accord.
