Al-Hilal, Inter Miami, and Barcelona are currently waiting for the decision of Lionel Messi as the process of joining a new club is advancing.
Lionel Messi became a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. His Paris Saint-Germain contract ends on June 30, 2023.
Saudi Arabia’s Pro League giant offered Lionel Messi 1.2 billion for a two-year contract. It is €400 million per season with other bonuses. However, they have denied that they have increased the deal in the last 24 hours.
If Lionel Messi moves to the Middle East, he is going to be the highest-paid player in the world, ahead of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was reported that Al Hilal are looking forward to announcing Lionel Messi as their new player.
The Saudi Arabian clubs are making offers to big-name players in Europe. They have signed Karim Benzema and are looking forward to making bids for Wilfred Zaha and Alexis Sanchez.
Inter Miami Enters the Race to Sign Lionel Messi
Inter Miami are considered to be among the favorites to sign the Argentine star, and it will be huge for Major League Soccer.
The Executive Committee of the American League is looking forward to supporting David Beckham’s Inter Miami bid to sign Messi next season.
Also, the deal is set to involve contributions from MLS’s biggest commercial partners, Apple TV and Adidas.
They are currently discussing the process of offering Messi a share of the revenue generated by new subscribers attracted to the platform’s streaming package.
Another report stated that Adidas was offering Messi a profit-sharing agreement with the sportswear giant.
Adidas has been on contract with Lionel Messi since 2006, and the sportswear giant pays Messi $19.2 million per year. However, Inter Miami’s offers are not as attractive as those of Al Hilal.
Barcelona are close to signing Lionel Messi after his agent met with club representatives.
Barcelona are trying creative measures to sign Messi after his father and agent, Jorge Messi, met with the Barcelona representatives.
It was understood that Barcelona is looking forward to sending a formal bid as soon as possible.
However, they all agree that the deal could come to pass or it may not due to the difficulty of registering new players. Barcelona are Lionel Messi’s priority, but the club will have to sell a few players to sign the Argentine.
Players will have to accept wage reductions in order to register Lionel Messi for next season. Xavi Hernandez will surely be happy that his former teammate will be returning to the Spanish giant.
The return of Messi will be gladly welcomed by the fans, and it is going to make the club compete for silverware in Europe.
