Saudi Arabia is once again trying to attract superstars to its side. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This time, investors in the country have aimed to attract the famous footballer Lionel Messi. According to TEAMtalk, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which controls several leading clubs in the country, has made a financial offer to the Argentine player.
It is noted that this offer is at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr. The main party that has started contract negotiations is Al-Hilal, which recently appointed Simone Inzaghi as head coach. Club representatives have already met with Lionel Messi's father and agent, Jorge Messi, to discuss the details of the agreement.
However, according to reliable sources, Lionel Messi is not yet ready to leave MLS. The 38-year-old forward is satisfied with his life and football at Inter Miami and is considered an important member of the team both on and off the field. Thus, Saudi Arabia continues its policy of attracting big names in sports for significant investments.
But for now, it seems Messi has decided to continue his career in the United States. This situation is causing various opinions and debates among football fans and experts.
The future results of Saudi investments will become clearer over time.
