The relationship between paris saint germain AND Lionel Messi It’s already broken, now permanently. The recent suspension that the Argentinean champion received for having made a trip to Saudi Arabia with his family without authorization from the club and the protest carried out by the Parisian fans in which they sang against him were the reasons that ended up making the glass, which already seemed to be overflowing for some time. The world champion’s farewell from France to Qatar is a fact and despite being a free agent only since 1 July, the first mega offer he will receive for a club that makes it clear that from an economic point of view, no problem: Al Hilal directed by Ramón Díaz.
a contract of 600 million dollars per season it is nothing more and nothing less than the amount offered by the Asian club to stay with Messi. Even a couple of weeks ago they had made an initial approach that was around 400 million, which was rejected. But it seems that the salary limit that the Arab club can reach has not yet reached a ceiling.
Although it is known that in Saudi football clubs tend to manage a large portfolio due to the sheikhs to which they belong, the case of the team led by Ramón has a greater plus. The owner of Al Hilal is Salman bin Abdulaziz, the King of Saudi Arabia.whose fortune is estimated at around 18,000 million dollars and wishes to have the best in the world in his team led by the iconic Argentine coach.
An important fact to take into consideration is that If Lionel decides to land in Arab football, he will meet Cristiano Ronaldo again, who works for Al Nassr, Al Hilal’s longtime rivals. The Arab classic could become the Barcelona-Real Madrid of the last decade. And as always happened during the “rivalry” between the two players, the Argentine would start 1-0 against the Portuguese: the fact is that, in that eternal competition that cracked, CR7 earns 200 million a year, a third of what Messi could get to sign your contract.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Marco Kirdemir, a Fifa agent with a good relationship with the Arab king, knows how Messi’s negotiations on his future are going. The Saudi trip made this week would have been no accident. “Messi went to the country to meet him (the king), to see the place where he could live; if his family gives the okay, he will play in Saudi Arabia,” said Kirdemir.
And I add: “They will spend as much money as possible.“.
The fact that may also make the departure of the captain of the national team from the European continent feasible are the difficulties that Barcelona presents in adapting to the wage bill demanded by the Spanish league authorities. “He won’t go to Barcelona. He wants to come back when he retires,” said the FIFA agent.
The possibility of seeing a new phase of Messi vs Cristiano can become a reality. With the detail that the victories of 10 are starting to show up again, now from the economic side. Arabs are starting to want to appear on the football map, using their “petrodollars” as a temptation to attract figures, as they are trying to do with players like Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric.
The present of Ramón Díaz’s team
In the current Arab league, Al Hilal is in fourth position, 10 points off the top, with few dates left to play. But despite being out of the fight for the local title, the latest fact that put the former River coach’s team under the radar of the whole planet was the performance in the Club World Cup: reached second position after losing to Real Madrid in the end.
Al Hilal is the most successful club in the entire Asian countrybeing the only one with four AFC Champions League titles and the biggest winner of the local league with 18 editions under his belt.
Ramón Díaz joined his current team in early 2022, where he won the Pro League title in the middle of the same year and the love the fans have for him is great. In addition to the coach’s Argentine presence, Messi would not be only in the squad. Striker Luciano Vietto is another compatriot who would share the squad with the world champion.
