Star Argentine striker Lionel Messi could play in Saudi Arabia from next season. The Reuters agency, citing an unnamed source, reported that the thirty-five-year-old football player Paris St. Germain is running for al-Hilal.
The club from Riyadh has already submitted a contract offer to Messi, whose contract ends in Paris after the season. According to her, the captain of the world champions from last year’s championship in Qatar should earn 400 million dollars (8.5 billion crowns) a year. Neither the player nor al-Hilal have made an official statement.
In Saudi Arabia, Messi could once again meet his longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who headed to al-Nasr at the end of last year. The Portuguese striker has signed a three-year contract worth 220 million dollars a year with the club.
A few days ago, Messi visited Saudi Arabia, where he is the tourism ambassador. Management of Paris St. Germain removed him from the squad for two weeks for an unauthorized trip, so he is not allowed to play or train with the team. According to Reuters, it was also punishment for the fact that Messi had recently informed the club that he would not be renewing his contract.
In connection with the expiring contract in Paris St. Germain is also speculating about Messi returning to Barcelona, where he spent his entire previous career before leaving for France in 2021. With the Catalan club, the seven-time winner of the Gold won, among other things, ten titles and won the Champions League four times.
