According to Foot Mercato, Lionel Messi’s father and agent, Jorge, has accepted a historic offer of €1.2 billion from Al-Hilal over a span of two seasons. This offer surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo’s earnings at Al-Nassr, more than doubling them.
While Messi’s preference is to return to Barcelona, his growing recognition of the financial challenges faced by the Catalan club is pushing him closer to considering a move to the Gulf State.
Even with the potential departures of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets from Nou Camp, Messi’s extremely high wages may exceed the limits imposed by LaLiga’s stringent regulations.
Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire this summer, and it seems unlikely that he will extend his two-year stay in France.
Furthermore, there have been rumors linking the 35-year-old with a move to the Major Soccer League (MLS).
