Lionel Messi might receive a tantalizing contract worth up to $350 million per year from the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, which is prepared to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.
In less than six months, Messi, a player for Paris Saint-Germain, will be a free agent after his contract expires in the summer.
Ѕрaіn’ѕ Мundо Dероrtіvо rероrted that the Ѕаudі giants are offering to pay for a move right away in annual revenue of between $300 million and $350 million.

Contrary to popular belief, Messi has not agreed to extend his contract at the Parc des Princes, according to ForbesSport, which gives hope to organizations like Inter Miami and his previous team FC Barcelona.
Portugal star Ronaldo had signed a two-year deal with Al Nassr, a rival of Al Hilal, for a contract worth €200 million per year, including commercial perks.
The 37-year-old captain of Portugal left Manchester United following a contentious interview in which he criticized the team and became a free agent.
The signing of the former Real Madrid great was referred to as “history in the making” by Al Nassr, a nine-time champion in the Saudi Pro League.
The development surrounding Al Hilal’s offer to Messi is becoming more credible as Saudi Arabia, along with Greece and Egypt, is currently putting together a bid to host the 2030 World Cup. Having two of the greatest footballers of all time play in their domestic league will significantly help Saudi Arabia’s bid.
Messi is no stranger to Saudi Arabia, according to ForbesSport, having joined the Kingdom’s ‘Visit Saudi’ tourist campaign as an ambassador in 2022.
He will also go there later this month to play for PSG against Al Nassr in a friendly, and Al Hilal might take advantage of the occasion to present him with a specific offer.
