Lionel Messi's future is a lottery. Neither he nor his entourage nor the press can confirm to date where he will play once he ends his contract with PSG. The only thing that is known is that the wish of the top Ballon d'Or winner is to turn around for Barça, but the Catalan team is still not capable of sending a formal offer to Leo's entourage.

La Pulga not only wants to return to Spain for the club itself, which is not a small thing given that it would continue to compete at the highest level in one of the five best leagues in Europe, but also Barcelona was his home for almost all his life and it would be to resume the everyday to which he was already accustomed. All this makes it very difficult for other options such as Inter Miami or Al-Hilal to be considered, but now the Saudi Arabian team issued a warning to Jorge Messi.

Days ago, Lionel's father gave the green light to the terms offered by the Asians in the contract: 1,200 million euros for two seasons and commissions never seen before in a transaction. Of course, the proposal closes economically from all sides to the environment, but the final decision is up to the player. Now, Al-Hilal has let Jorge know that he has 15 days to respond or else Messi will lose the option to be the athlete with the best salary in history.

Barcelona wants two figures from Manchester City

Despite the fact that Joan Laporta works against the clock to be able to send the formal offer that Lionel Messi is asking for so much, the culé board does not lose sight of the assembly of the squad for next season. In this context, it was learned that Barça is going hard for Ilkay Gündogan and Bernardo Silva.
