Saudi Arabian capital did not give up on Lionel Messi.
French media L'Equipe said on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) 'Saudi Arabia attempted to recruit Lionel Messi, whose contract with PSG ended in the summer of 2023, and two years later, the local league still has hope. With Messi, who turned 38 years old, set to become a free agent again after his contract expires in December, Saudi Arabia is again trying to gain an edge in the recruitment race by actively injecting funds as the host of the 2034 World Cup, according to the report.
The media reported that `Asian Champions League winners Al Ahli have been working hard to persuade eight-time Ballon d'Or winners since weeks ago'Inter Miami, meanwhile, wants to keep Messi on the team after two seasons in MLS'
Messi's contract with Inter Miami will end at the end of this season. The club strongly wants to renew the contract with Messi, but Messi has yet to give a definite answer about his future. Some say they are satisfied with life on the American stage, but the possibility of taking on a new challenge is also open.
Among them, Saudi Arabia's proposal is known to be so unconventional that it is difficult to find a precedent. It is not known how much Saudi Arabia has prepared this time, but of course, it is expected to far exceed the highest treatment in soccer history that Cristiano Ronaldo is receiving.
Because when I tried to sign Messi from Saudi back in 2023, I prepared an offer that was beyond my imagination. The British Telegraph said at the time that the 'Saudi government is preparing for the most lucrative salary contract in football history to bring Messi to the Saudi professional league this summer. 'Discussions are underway that could be worth 320 million pounds (about 596.6 billion won) for the entire contract,' the report said.
Two years later, Messi's heyday has passed even more, but Messi's status remains. Saudi Arabia will do its best to bring in Messi, the best player in football history. This is because the promotional effect that Saudi Arabia can enjoy by recruiting Messi to Saudi Arabia is great.
As we prepare for the 2034 World Cup, we can make Saudi Arabia look at the eyes of the world. If Messi chooses to go to Saudi Arabia, this could lead to another story. It is a reunion with Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al Nasr. The confrontation between the two players, called 'Meho Daejeon', has heated up Spain's La Liga in the past and is considered the greatest rivalry in soccer history. Fans are eager to see them compete on one stage again, and that dream may become a reality depending on Messi's decision this summer.
It is not yet known how much Al Ahli's efforts are moving Messi's mind, but Saudi Arabia's astronomical proposal may change Messi's mind.
