Lionel Messi will say goodbye to PSG at the end of this season and everything would be defined in his future, since everything indicates that he will return to FC Barcelona. In the midst of the work carried out by the Catalan board to finalize the arrival of the 'Flea', the million-dollar offer that Al-Hilal made to the captain of the Argentine team came to light. Now, Leo's final decision to go or not to football in the Middle East is made known.

The journalist Fabrizio Romano announced that Al-Hilal offered a contract of 400 million euros per season to Lionel Messi. The incredible figure would make Lionel Messi the highest paid player in history, since Cristiano Ronaldo holds that position, with the 200 million per year paid by Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal's main rival in the Saudi league.

Despite the juicy offer, the journalist Germán García spoke about the final decision of Messi and his family to agree to play at least one year in the Middle East. The TyC Sports collaborator revealed that the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) ruled out the possibility of going to Saudi Arabia, despite the million-dollar contract they put on the table.

Why does Lionel Messi reject 400 million euros?

One of the reasons why Lionel Messi will not make it to Arab football is that he wants to stay in the European elite and fight for the Champions League once again. In addition, the interest shown by FC Barcelona in recent months made him rethink his future and he wants to say goodbye in the best way to the team where he won 35 titles. Finally, he wants to reach the Copa América in the best conditions and signing for a team from the Middle East would cause a setback in football.
