Rumors are circulating that Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi, Argentine football superstar, is nearing a high-profile transfer from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Al-Hilal, a team based in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal is considered a rival to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr team.
While there has been no official confirmation from Messi or his current club, sources close to the deal have indicated that negotiations are underway.
Messi is currently under contract with PSG until June 30, and it is expected that he will sign a significant deal with Al-Hilal.
An anonymous source mentioned that the contract is exceptional and that final details are being worked out. They also suggested that if PSG had wanted to renew Messi’s contract, it would have been done earlier.
However, Messi’s father and agent, Jorge, took to Instagram to refute the rumors and stated that no decision will be made until Messi’s contract with PSG is completed.
The reported deal to play in Saudi Arabia is rumored to be worth over $660 million USD per year. It is worth noting that Messi recently faced suspension from PSG due to an unauthorized trip he took to Saudi Arabia, where he serves as a tourism ambassador.
As of now, it remains uncertain where Messi will go once his contract with PSG comes to an end.
