Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
At the end of his contract with PSG at the end of last season, Lionel Messi had no shortage of suitors. According to his biographer, Guillem Balague, Al-Hilal took action by offering him a check for €1 billion per year. An offer refused by the Argentinian international, who ultimately chose to join Inter Miami. Last Saturday, he reconsidered his choice.
Lionel Messi does not have wonderful memories of his time at Paris. Heckled by the supporters of PSG at the end of his career, the Argentine player did not extend his time in Francedespite an offer of extension sent by the Qatar. Free to join the team of his choice during the off-season, Messi hoped for a return to FC Barcelona. THE Ballon d’Or 2023 admitted this during his interview with France Football last Saturday. But unfortunately for him, the opportunity did not present itself.
Al-Hilal dropped a big check for Messi
On the other hand, other groups tried to recruit him likeAl-Hilal. “During the Messi soap opera this summer, the Al-Hilal delegation arrived in Paris with their private jet, but also with an offer of 1 billion per year, but Messi never seriously considered his offer” confided Guillem Balaguebiographer of Lionel Messi, during an interview with Caught Offside.
Messi justifies his decision
In the columns of France Football, Messi had justified his decision. “I had many offers on the table, very different ones, to be honest. Barça, but also other European clubs, Saudi Arabia… But we ultimately chose to come to Miami, a decision that we are happy to have taken, because we feel good here. We enjoy daily life more than before with my family. We can do many more things together, I can share moments with my wife and children that I missed before. Miami is a spectacular city, with a great climate,” he confided.
