Leo Messi outside the walls of Paris Saint-Germain next summer to Al Hilal Saudi Arabia
The Spanish newspaper, Marca, said, on Thursday, that the Argentine football legend, Lionel Messi, will leave Paris Saint-Germain after the end of his contract next summer, to join the ranks of Al Hilal Saudi Arabia with an offer worth $ 600 million.
The newspaper quoted the FIFA-accredited players' agent, Marco Kerdermeer, as saying that Messi would not join his former club, Barcelona, after the strong offer from Saudi Arabia.
She explained that the players' agent is close to the Qatari owner of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khulaifi.
According to Kerdermeer, the Parisian club was informed of the decision not to continue Messi among its ranks months ago.
He also confirmed that Messi will not join Barcelona next year, despite the Spanish Radio Onda Cero report, which revealed that yesterday.
The players' agent told Marca's radio station, "Messi will not move to Barcelona. And the offer that Messi received from Al Hilal Saudi Arabia is $ 600 million annually.
A media report close to Al-Hilal Club said that an attractive offer was made for the best player in the world for the year 2022 in Qatar, with an annual offer of 400 million euros.
And last February, a well-informed official confirmed to "Agence France Presse", who preferred not to be named, that Saudi Arabia is seeking to establish partnerships with Messi to support its organization of the World Cup.
And it was reported months ago that Saudi Arabia wanted to submit a joint file with Greece and Egypt to host the 2030 edition, but the candidacy has not yet become official.
The atmosphere is charged between Lionel Messi and the management of Paris Saint-Germain, after Messi went on a two-day vacation to Saudi Arabia for the purpose of publicity, and this came in an official statement from the Parisian club’s management.
And press sources (Sky News Network) stated that Lionel Messi received a two-week contract from the club and a deduction from his salary because of that trip.
