Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are still competing even after all these years.

Cristiano Ronaldo revolutionized the soccer market at the beginning of the year, when he announced his arrival at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia for around 200 million euros per season. Such a huge salary for an athlete has never been seen before, in the history of all sports. 

Now, it seems that the story has changed, because Al-Hilal is determined to sign Lionel Messi in the next transfer market and for this he has a monstrous amount of money prepared. Although the information was considered that the contract of the captain of the Argentine team could reach 300 or 400 million euros per season, now L'Equipe assures that the amount is even higher.

According to the aforementioned French media, the proposal presented by the Saudi Arabian club is 500 million per course. This, added to the benefits included in the contract, would make the sum reach 600 kilos, double what was originally reported. However, the decision is not only based on economics.

When will the news be confirmed?

As we mentioned, despite the strong rumors, the reality is that there is still no confirmation and in fact, Messi's father has announced that Lionel Messi has not yet reached an agreement with any team, neither with Inter Miami nor with Al Hilal, and of course neither with FC Barcelona.
