According to transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano and the Saudi Gazette, Lionel Messi has received an enormous offer worth more than €400 million ($438 million) each year to continue his club career in Saudi Arabia.
On Tuesday night, Romano announced the information through Twitter, writing that Al-Hilal has already sent the Argentine a formal bid.
Yet according to Romano, Messi’s “absolute priority” is to carry on playing in Europe and not join generational rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed for Al-Nassr at the turn of 2023, in the Kingdom.
