New Reports Say Messi May Accept the Offer from Saudi’s Al Hilal

According to reports from El Chiringuito, Lionel Messi is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after this season and has received an offer from Al Hilal to join them in Saudi Arabia for the upcoming season after initially requesting €600 million ($660 million) a year.

According to ESPN, Messi was planning a move to Al Hilal, the cross-town rivals of Al Nassr, which is Cristiano Ronaldo's current team. Messi's contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the current season.

Reports from ESPN's sources stated that Messi, who signed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) upon his arrival from Barcelona in 2021, is set to leave the club despite an agreement made before the World Cup in Qatar to extend his stay. Following his absence from training due to a trip to Saudi Arabia, PSG suspended Messi without pay for two weeks.

In response to the incident, Messi released an apology video on his Instagram account to the club and his teammates. This incident reportedly led to tension within the dressing room, with certain players being unhappy.

According to El Chiringuito, Messi is said to have agreed to an offer from Al Hilal, the current champions of the Saudi Pro League. Additionally, the report suggests that Messi's former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets will join him at Al Hilal as a free agent, while Jordi Alba could potentially make the move if he can reach an agreement to terminate his contract with Barcelona.
