Lionel Messi, the Argentina international and Paris Saint-Germain superstar, may embarrass Cristiano Ronaldo with his next club move.
Lionel Messi will reject Al-€400m-per-year Hilal's deal to stay at the top of European football.
If Messi accepts Al-offer, Hilal's he will be the world's highest-paid footballer. Hence, it is surprising that the 35-year-old World Cup winner considers a move to Saudi Arabia his least preferred option, according to Spanish publication Sport.
Paris Saint-contract Germain's Messi's expires at season's conclusion. Since the Argentine has failed to lead PSG to Champions League triumph, the transfer may have disappointed.
Recent sources imply an extension between the two parties is looking increasingly doubtful, prompting a variety of reports concerning Messi's next destination.
After Messi's father and agent Jorge was spotted in Riyadh, those rumors intensified,
although they may conflict with the ex-Barcelona player's club ambitions.
Many football fans want Messi to join Al-Hilal so he can compete with Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr in January.
