“Will Messi’s Wife Prevent Him from Joining Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia?”

This information was received by AFP from a source with alleged knowledge of the transfer. There he could face Al-Nassr and his longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

At Al-Hilal, Messi would receive a whopping €400m per season. Two weeks ago, he was illegally flown to Saudi Arabia as a tourism ambassador.

However, one person could still get in the way of the move: Messi’s wife Antonella Roccuzzo apparently cannot imagine moving to Saudi Arabia with her family.

According to the French sports newspaper L´Équipe she would rather continue to live in Europe with her sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro.

However, last week Antonella traveled to the desert state with her husband and children to film a promotional video for the country.

It is still unclear whether she can still prevent her husband from making a change or whether she will stay in Europe with the children if she does.
