Lionel Messi does not intend to continue his sports career in the Saudi League. The Argentine player, after winning the World Cup, is going through a defining moment in his career where he must decide which path to take when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires.
The most logical option would be to continue for an additional season at Paris Saint-Germain, although no agreement has been reached yet. Now, the Parisian club is drafting a second bid, after which Messi will decide whether to accept an extension.
What Lionel Messi has already decided is not to listen to the offers that could come from the Middle East, specifically from Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal, the leading team in Asia, made an offer of 600 million euros for two seasons, an option that Lionel Messi is not considering at the moment.
Jorge Messi himself issued a statement calling false news any such information regarding Al-Hilal and the alleged offer of the same standard accepted by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yes, it is true that Leo Messi reached a commercial agreement with Saudi Arabia to represent the aforementioned country in its race to win the World Cup, and that in Cristiano Ronaldo’s last match, Al-Ittihad fans chanted Leo’s name after his victory, a sign of the appreciation that Lionel Messi enjoys there.
