Saudi Arabian Government is preparing a massive bid to take Lionel Messi to the Saudi Pro League

According to reports, the Saudi Arabian government is preparing a massive bid to take Lionel Messi to the Saudi Pro League this summer.

The Argentinean is expected to depart PSG at the end of the current campaign; according to reports, his father, Jorge, notified the French club of the decision one month ago.

Although it’s unclear where the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will go next, however he won’t lack for connections as he makes his decision.

The announcement comes after Messi was given a two-week club suspension for traveling to Saudi Arabia without permission.

The most lucrative football contract in history will reportedly be used by Saudi Arabia to try and convince Messi to follow Cristiano Ronaldo to the Middle East.

According to the article, if Messi were to join the league, his annual compensation might reach £320 million, nearly twice as much as Ronaldo’s annual salary of £165 million at Al-Nassr, who has been linked with Al-Hilal.

Prior to a prospective move after he becomes a free agent, it is believed that discussions with Messi and his father, who serves as the head of his group of representatives, are in progress.
Garry Cook, the former CEO of Manchester City, is rumored to be engaged in any future deal, with state involvement obvious.
