Agency – Saudi Arabian veteran club Al Hilal really wants to have Argentinian star Lionel Messi. Al Hilal are looking to sign Messi after rival club Al Nasr signed Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to various sports media, Al Hilal is ready to pay more than 400 million euros for Messi. This is the highest salary in football history. Al Hilal is ready to pay such a high salary considering the high profit that Ronaldo and Messi will lure.
Messi has neither accepted nor rejected Al Hilal’s offer. But if one of the latest news is to be believed, Messi’s family may prevent him from going to Saudi Arabia. Messi’s wife Antonella Roccuzzo is said to be reluctant to go to Saudi. Reports have surfaced that Messi’s wife Antonella is thinking of not moving to Saudi Arabia with their three sons.
The contract between PSG and Messi is set to expire in the next few months and there is little chance of an extension between the two sides. Messi has already rejected the offer made by PSG by reducing the salary. Messi wants to return to former club Barcelona. But it is very difficult for Barcelona, which is in extreme financial crisis, to bring him in.
Barcelona would have to reduce the club’s wage bill in order to recall Messi. For that, Barcelona has to sell many players in the club. Barcelona can bring in Messi only by selling players and reducing the wage bill.
