The 400m Per Year Deal Offer for Lionel Messi from Saudi Arabian Club Al Hilal

May 2024 · 1 minute read

An offer in excess of €400 million per year has been proposed by Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal to sign Paris Saint-Germain’s Argentina star, Lionel Messi.

Al Hilal, which also includes former Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo, is the latest club to join the race to sign Messi on a free transfer with his contract at PSG set to expire in the summer, according to Italian journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Despite having received an offer from the Ligue 1 champions, Messi’s priority is to continue his career in Europe and is yet to accept their new terms.

“Understand Al Hilal sent an official bid to Leo Messi: salary worth more than €400m/year,” Romano wrote on Twitter.

“Leo’s absolute priority: continue in Europe.”

According to Romano, Barcelona is waiting on the Financial Fair Play (FFP) case before sending a bid and opening talks to bring back the legendary player.

Additionally, sources from ESPN indicate that Messi is looking unlikely to remain in Paris, with the 35-year-old not willing to take a salary reduction.

The report adds that he is prepared to wait to see what proposals come his way at the end of this season before making a decision.
