newspaper saiddemWith the approaching end of the current season and Lionel Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain, optimism is growing about the possibility of the Argentine star joining the ranks of Saudi clubs.
And at a time when Messi and his father insist that the next destination for Messi has not been determined, the leaders in Saudi Arabia are confident that the Argentine star will soon shine in the Saudi League, according to the newspaper.
The Saudis hope that the Saudi Professional League will revive the rivalry between Messi and the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nasr club.
According to the newspaper, Messi may get a higher value contract than Ronaldo’s current contract, and it may reach 300 million euros.
And Ronaldo, thanks to his imaginary contract with Al-Nasr club, became the highest-paid athlete in the world in the year 2023, with an income of $ 136 million, but Messi may exceed the number if he decides to play in Saudi Arabia, according to “Marca”.
The newspaper stated that Saudi Arabia wants to bring other big names to the local league, such as Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Nacho, Karim Benzema and even Alvaro Morata.
Barcelona, Spain, still wants to return its former star, but it is difficult to compete with the Saudi offer, according to the newspaper.
The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nasr Club in a fictional deal, believes that the Saudi Football League “will be among the five best leagues in the world, but it needs time, players and infrastructure.”
