Everything seems to be closed and would be imminent the signing of the contract between Lionel Messi and Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia. Rumors grew strongly in the international press following the game this Saturday, the last one that the rosarino star played with the Paris Saint-Germain shirt (PSG).
According to AFP, a delegation from Saudi Arabia would have landed in Paris in the last few hours. The objective of the trip would be simple: return with the official approval of Messi. The representatives of Al Hilal maintain that they are “in the final phase of the agreement” and it only remains to finalize details.
In addition, following signing, the Argentine star would fly to the capital of that country, Riyadh, in the next 48 hours to be presented at the club headquarters. The latter was revealed by the Saudi newspaper La Gazetta, which cited “informed sources” regarding the operation.

The information clarifies that “the value of the agreement and the player’s salary have not yet been specified”, but there is speculation with a mega contract of 400 million dollars a year. That figure would make Messi the highest paid athlete in the worldabove the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who last January signed an agreement with the Al-Nassr club for 200 million.
Officials from Al-Hilal, Saudi Arabia’s winningest team, are in the French capital to finalize the details of the agreement. “If Messi accepts the monstrous offer, it would be a huge boost for Saudi Arabia with two world soccer superstars playing in their professional league tournaments“, The Saudi Gazetta published.
The Argentine made an unauthorized visit to Riyadh last month that hastened his departure from PSG. Messi, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and his sons Ciro and Mateo were photographed enjoying the tourist attractions in Saudi Arabia as part of a business deal.
