This news came in the midst of Messi's crisis with PSG after the latter decided to suspend the Argentine star for two weeks due to his traveled to Saudi Arabia without permission from the French club. Messi has several options, including returning to Barcelona.  This matter appears to be on the table strongly, after the Catalan boss Xavi, confirmed last Saturday that talks had taken place regarding the return of Messi. However, FC Barcelona's financial plight, which in 2021 led to Messi's departure and his move to PSG, could also prevent his return. It seems that the American Football League is also an option, as David Beckham Inter Miami owner and former English star, is looking forward to Messi's services. However, "L'Equipe" considers the option of Messi joining Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia next to his rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi League to be the most serious. French L'Equipe’s report indicates that the Saudi Arabian government is preparing a mega bid to lure Lionel Messi to the Saudi Pro League this summer, in a deal that may last “for several years.” the proposed offer to Messi will outperform the deal that Ronaldo signed at the beginning of the year to join Al-Nasr Club in the Saudi Professional League. Ronaldo's contract was reportedly worth €200m a year, which included a guaranteed salary as well as commercial and sponsorship deals.
Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal reportedly sent an official bid to Messi that includes a salary worth over $400 million euros a year, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Italian journalist who specialises in football transfers. This offer was granted to Messi before his crisis with PSG, and at that time the 35-year-old was seriously considering moving to Al-Hilal to become the highest-paid player ever.
