Lionel Messi’s sporting future seems to be settled shortly. After the departure of the 35-year-old superstar from Paris Saint-Germain, the next employer has apparently emerged with Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia. As “Sport” reports, the club has apparently already planned Messi’s presentation. Accordingly, Al-Hilal would like to present the free transfer Argentine world champion next Tuesday. The Spanish newspaper learned this from internal sources. Only the final “yes” of the chosen one is still missing.
Rumor: Lionel Messi to Al-Hilal
Al-Hilal identified June 6 as the key date. Messi’s commitment should be echoed worldwide and at the same time present Saudi Arabia. The whole country is looking forward to the moment. The veteran will make his last appearance for PSG in Ligue 1 on Saturday at 9pm against Clermont Foot, after which Messi will soon reveal his plans. His ex-club FC Barcelona also kept the small chance of a return campaign alive for a long time, but cannot keep up with the financial advances of Al-Hilal – who is an 18-time champion.

According to reports, it is about a two-year contract (plus an additional year as an option) with an astronomical salary offer of 400 million euros per season. For comparison: Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr FC in January, is expected to receive around €200m per season. There is also a clause that allows Messi to leave whenever he wants.
Recently, Barcelona coach Xavi said he did not want to put any pressure on Messi. The attacker will “make a decision next week,” said the ex-professional in an interview with the sports newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” on Friday, “and you have to leave him alone.” His former team-mate knows that he finds “open doors” with the Spanish champions, he added, emphasizing that he has campaigned internally for the icon to be signed: “I have no doubt that he would help us a lot at a high level .”
