Lionel Messi
By Maro Apoi
An offer worth in excess of €400 million has been proposed to Argentina star, Lionel Messi by Al Hilal as his contract with PSG is set to expire in the summer.
Lionel Messi plays for Paris Saint-German while Nigeria’s Odion Ighalo plays for Al Hilal Club.
Italian journalist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano disclosed this on his verified twitter handle.
The Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal is the latest club to join the race to sign Messi on a free transfer.
Reports say his priority is to continue his career in Europe and is yet to accept any 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.”
He stated that Barcelona are waiting on the Financial Fair Play (FFP) case before sending a bid and open talks.
Meanwhile, according to ESPN sources, Messi is looking unlikely to remain in Paris, with the 35-year-old not willing to take a salary reduction.
It is reported that he is prepared to wait to see what proposals come his way at the end of the campaign.
