It’s unbelievable. 400 million a year An incredible 1.1 million euros a day, an hourly wage of 45,662 – multi-millionaire Lionel Messi apparently does not want to reject this immoral and obscene offer. The record deal of the seven-time world footballer with Saudi Arabia, which broke all the bounds of comprehension, is “a done deal”, his “eternal” duel with Cristiano Ronaldo is experiencing a new edition in the desert state. And the Portuguese draws the short straw!
The report was spread by the French news agency AFP, which claims to have learned about the negotiations from a source with knowledge. “The Messi deal is sealed. He will play in Saudi Arabia next season.” The contract for the 35-year-old, who was last associated with record champions Al-Hilal, is “extraordinary, huge. We’re just clarifying the final details.”
Particular satisfaction for the Argentine world champion from Paris St. Germain: He replaces CR7 as the highest-earning athlete in the world. “The negotiations did not last as long as with Ronaldo,” it said. Messi is said to be earning significantly more than the 38-year-old Portuguese, who signed from Al-Nassr in January for a measly €160m a year until 2025.
Messi hangs CR7 again
The 400 million that the entire deal will bring in for Ronaldo is said to be paid to Messi per year. That corresponds to 45,662 euros per hour or 761 euros per minute. In the Vendome Pavilion in Paris on Monday evening, Messi signed the “Wall of Legends” for free at the Laureus Award – as a double winner of the “Sports Oscar”.
PSG didn’t deny the transfer, only pointing out that Messi will fulfill his contract until June 30th. Messi’s father Jorge stressed on Tuesday afternoon that his son would only make a decision after the end of the season in Paris. “Nothing has been signed with anyone” and there is no verbal commitment. Messi’s name is “used” to attract attention.
But in the dream marriage concluded in 2021 between the best footballer of his time and the star ensemble financed from Qatar, there had recently been a massive crisis. Messi was suspended from the club a week and a half ago after an unauthorized promotional trip to, exactly: Saudi Arabia. He has since apologized to the fans and the club, for whom he scored 31 goals and provided 34 assists in 71 competitive games. He will appear for PSG no more than four times.
Then he moves to the kingdom, from which he has long been paid handsomely for his work as a tourism ambassador (“Visit Saudi”). The record deal is made possible by the billions in oil dripping from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, which has already sweetened the late autumn of Ronaldo’s career.
Messi gets it right again
At Al-Hilal, which is coached by Argentinian Ramon Diaz, Messi is said to meet two old acquaintances: Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba from Messi’s old love FC Barcelona are also said to be about to move to fourth in the Pro League.
His “greatest dream”, as he said on Monday, came true last December with Qatar’s World Cup triumph. “I went through so much for it and experienced a lot of suffering with the national team,” said Messi, “but I never gave up.”
