Cristiano is honest and explains the reason why Messi should play in Saudi Arabia

While Lionel Messi has as a priority to stay at PSG and the owners of the French club want him to stay until 2024, from Saudi Arabia they are pending negotiations. A rumor recently arose that Al-Hilal wants the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and would prepare a million-dollar offer. Now, Cristiano Ronaldo explained the reason why the captain of the Argentine team should accept the offer from the Middle East.

Despite the fact that Lionel Messi does not plan to move from the Old Continent until 2024, since he wants to arrive in the best conditions for the next Copa América, the 'Bug' made an "invitation" to Lionel Messi to accept the offer from Saudi Arabia and not just for the money. At a press conference, the Portuguese referred to the development of football in the Middle East and surprised everyone.

According to the top scorer in the Champions League, the Saudi tournament will soon be the fourth or fifth best league in the world. “The Saudi league is very competitive. It's not the Premier League, I'm not going to lie to you, but it's a league that left me pleasantly surprised. In five, six or seven years, if they continue with the plan, it will be the fourth or fifth league in the world."

How much could they pay Lionel Messi in Saudi Arabia?

The portal 'El Chiringuito' assured that Al-Hilal could offer a salary of 240 million euros for Lionel Messi, who would become the highest paid player in the world. For now, the only sure thing is the formal offer from PSG, although from FC Barcelona they also hope to have the best player in culé history back.
