Top 10 Premier League goals in 2022/23 (Sport1)
Spain reports: Leo Messi is "close" to making a decision on his future. The Argentine, as his father said in a statement, wants to decide his fate within days, now that the season has come to an end and he has already won the title with Paris Saint-Germain.
As of now, the Argentine star has several offers, including one from Saudi Al-Hilal, and other clubs that sent him an offer in the last 24 hours. Among these proposals - none from Barcelona. Messi reportedly has an offer from MLS's Inter Miami and another from the Premier League (in England Chelsea have reportedly rattled him).
There is no doubt that Barcelona want to bring him back, but they have not yet presented him with an official and final offer, because, among other things, Barca are still uncertain about their future and are waiting for the La Liga management's financial plan regarding it.
As mentioned, both President Laporta and coach Xavi (and of course the crowd) have publicly expressed their desire for Messi to return to Camp Nou, but Mundo Deportivo clarifies: "Messi does not want and cannot wait any longer, and to this day he has not received any guarantee that Barcelona's clear desire to bring him back can become a tangible reality."

Messi and his father and agent, Jorge Messi, know more or less the conditions under which the club offers to sign him. However, on the footballer's side note that there is no official offer. Xavi recently said that Messi's arrival largely depends on what he wants.
At the same time, Al Hilal is reportedly trying to lure Messi and will make an offer to his two close friends - Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who are known to have ended their careers at Barcelona.
According to footmercato, Messi received the offer from the Saudis for the largest contract in history, estimated to cost 1.2 billion euros over two years - including the largest commission in history, with payments to his father and brother acting as his agents, which are expected to receive hundreds of millions of euros.
