Lionel Messi is bound o make a very hard choice.

It is almost all confirmed that Lionel Messi will not continue to be a Paris Saint Germain player once the season is over. Both parties are very far from reaching an agreement and everything seems to indicate that the Argentine star will finally not renew his contract with the Parisian team and will look for new directions from June.

PSG does not want to risk its neck against the Financial Fair Play and to alleviate expenses with respect to the salary mass of the squad, it made the decision to part with a player from its magic trident. The one who will pay the piper will be Leo himself, since with Kylian Mbappé being a figure of the team and Neymar with a contract until 2027, his exits are impossible.

However, Messi was not very enthusiastic about continuing to defend the colors of PSG either, and the fact is that the whistles received by the fans in the Parc des Princes against Olympique Lyon ended up tiring the Argentine, who seems to be dreaming of a possible return to FC Barcelona.

The truth is that a club from Saudi Arabia appeared with an infernal offer. We refer to Al-Hilal, Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr classic. The Arabs would have offered Messi nothing more and nothing less than 400 million euros per season! thus being the most expensive contract in the history of football.

Messi and what he will earn in Barcelona

However, Messi's stance remains firm no matter how many millions he has ahead of him and he will continue his career in Europe, where he will be able to compete at the highest level. His idea is to arrive at Barcelona, a club where he feels at home, however, his salary will seem amateur next to the one offered by Al-Hilal and Joan Laporta is willing to pay the '10' around 7 million euros per year (+ bonuses for sponsors).
