Did Messi accept an offer to join Saudi club Al-Hilal after the PSG deal expires?

Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer and will accept a proposal from Al Hilal to play in Saudi Arabia next season, El Chiringuito reports. The Spanish "El Sherringito" program blew up a heavy-caliber surprise on Monday, after confirming that Argentine star Lionel Messi had given his consent to play for Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal next season after the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The famous program did not mention any details regarding the duration of the contract or the salary, but many sources suggested that the leader's offer amounted to 300-450 million euros annually. A source familiar with the negotiations told ESPN's Mark Ogden last month that Messi was considering a move to Al Hilal, the city rivals of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr when his PSG contract expires at the end of the season. El Chiringuito reports that Messi will now accept an offer from Al Hilal, the reigning champions of the Saudi Pro League. The report adds that Messi's former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets is set to join him at Al Hilal as a free agent, while Jordi Alba will also make the move if he can agree a deal to end his Barca contract. Messi is leaving PSG after the end of his contract, as several clubs are trying to sign him, such as; Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia, Inter Miami, and Barcelona, Spain. Messi informed the PSG Board administration of his unwillingness to renew the contract since last April, which means that he will leave on a free deal in the summer. What confirms the end of the relationship between the two parties is the harsh punishment imposed by the Parisian club on the player because of his travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia without obtaining permission from the administration.
