Negotiations between Lionel Messi and Barcelona have not advanced in recent days and the rest of the clubs interested in the captain of the Argentine National Team are beginning to stomp to try to make him change his mind. According to the journalist Matte Moretto, Al-Hilal is closely following the events and preparing a new strategy to convince Leo.

In addition to the offer that Messi already has on the table of 500 million euros per season, plus goals that would make that amount reach 600 'kilos', now the Middle Eastern club will seek to close the arrival of an important coach for the next season that would be to the liking of Rosario.

This is Leonardo Jardim. The Portuguese coach currently manages Shabab Al-Hilal of the UAE Pro League, but he has quite the reputation for what he achieved with AS Monaco. And it is that this was the man who led the Monegasques to the Ligue 1 title and to the UEFA Champions League semifinals in the 2016/17 season. Under his orders, Kylian Mbappé rose to fame and integrated a lethal forward alongside the Colombian Radamel Falcao García.

The signing of Busquets would also be part of Al-Hilal's strategy

According to the aforementioned journalist, the Saudi Arabia team also plans to close the arrival of Busi as a free agent. The Al-Hilal board believes that the arrival of the Spanish midfielder would be an important step with a view to convincing Messi beyond money. All this as long as his return to Barcelona is complicated, which today is Leo's priority.
