Messi is going to visit Ronaldo!
Lionel Messi is very likely to leave PSG at the end of the 2022/23 season! The main contenders for the legendary Argentine are Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia and MLS representative Inter Miami.
Two months before the end of the contract with PSG, Lionel Messi made a real demarche, going to Saudi Arabia after a weak-willed defeat from Lorient in the French league. The management of the Parisians did not like this very much, and they suspended the football player from the team for two weeks. It is possible that Lionel himself was going for a conflict in order to have a reason to leave Ligue 1.
Apparently, Lionel was very hurt by the way things are going with his main rival on the football pitch - Cristiano Ronaldo. Let us remind you that last summer the Portuguese left Manchester United and went to the Arabian Al-Nassr. There, he has an exceptional status, receives 300 million dollars a year and single-handedly cracks down on rivals in the league. Messi is also ready to go for the money because after the triumph at the 2022 World Cup, he has already proved everything to everyone.
Al-Hilal are already clearing the way for the 35-year-old Argentine's transfer. Together with the government of Saudi Arabia, the club is preparing Lionel a record contract in the history of sports and plans to pay him about 400 million euros a year! For the sake of such an astronomical sum, Messi will definitely not refuse to leave comfortable Europe and go to the Middle East, where there is a completely different mentality and climatic conditions.
The option of Leo’s transfer to Inter Miami, which is owned by David Beckham, is also being considered. Of course, the MLS representative is not going to pay the Argentine as much as Al-Hilal, but negotiations with the father of football legend Jorge Messi have already started.
It is possible that Leo Messi is preparing to annoy Cristiano Ronaldo again and at the same time receive phenomenal money at the end of his career. And if the two legends meet on the football pitch in the Middle East, then this will only add interest to local football, and possibly add points to Saudi Arabia in pursuit of the status of the 2030 World Cup host.
