At the Saudi club, Messi will earn 400 million euros per year.
Argentine world football star Lionel Messi seems to have decided to follow the path beaten by another star football player and move to Saudi Arabia. Despite persistent rumors of a return to his native Barcelona next season, the current PSG striker has officially agreed to a move to Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia. Information about this appeared on the El Chiringuito TV podcast.
It is also reported that Messi is not moving to the new club alone. There he will probably play alongside his old Barcelona teammates defender Jordi Alba and midfielder Sergio Busquets. The latter has already confirmed the transfer.
It also became known about the amount of Messi's contract. In Al-Hilal, he will receive 400 million euros a year.
We previously reported on Messi's visit to Saudi Arabia in early May. He did not inform the management of PSG about the trip, which caused him strong dissatisfaction. As a result, the striker was suspended for two weeks from matches and club training.
