Lionel Messi could soon join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
According to the British press, the father of the Argentine champion is said to be in Riyadh these days to discuss with the leaders of Al Hilal, the rival team of Al Nassr who have hired CR7 in recent weeks: there is an astonishing offer on the table equal to 300 million a year.
The Argentine champion, who returned to wearing the Paris Saint Germain shirt after a week's triumph in the world, is expiring of his contract with the French club in June 2024, with an option that can be exercised by both parties.
But it is not excluded, however, that in the face of a monstrous proposal coming from the gulf state, moreover supported by the same royal family of Riyadh, Messi may decide to ask for the early termination of the agreement.
Also because Messi already has close ties with the Saudi country, of which he is a tourism ambassador.
For Saudi Arabia it would be a real triumph of image, ideal in view of the joint candidacy with Egypt and Greece to host the 2030 World Cup.
