Lionel Messi has not yet defined his future. Despite the fact that PSG tries to convince him to continue one more season and from FC Barcelona they dream of his return, the captain of the Argentine team does not reveal what will happen in the coming months. Although his intention is not to move from Europe, the money that they would put in Saudi Arabia to take him is uncovered and that his salary is higher than that received by Cristiano Ronaldo.

While the PSG board will meet with Leo's entourage to offer a contract for one more year and a salary increase (according to L'Équipe he would go on to earn 35 million euros net), in the Middle East they are awaiting the future of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), who wants to stay in the Old Continent to reach the Copa América 2024 in the best conditions.

Despite this, from Europe they point out that Al-Hilal does not lose hope of breaking the market and hiring the best player in history. After Al-Nassr signed Cristiano Ronaldo, the biggest club in Saudi Arabia would look for the 'Flea', who shone at the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored seven goals, gave three assists and became the most outstanding soccer player in the competition.

The money that Al-Hilal would put to have Lionel Messi:

According to the portal 'Mundo Deportivo', Al-Hilal could offer 280 million euros to Messi, to make him the highest paid player in the world. The astronomical file would cause Cristiano Ronaldo to stop being number one in that category, since he currently signed a link until 2025, in exchange for 200 million per season. It remains to know the official position of Leo, who pointed out that he feels happy in Paris.
