LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – According to reports, despite assertions to the contrary, Lionel Messi and Al-Hilal have not reached a contract agreement, and he will only decide on his future by end of the season.
The 2022–23 season will see the Argentine superstar enter free agency when his contract at the Parc des Princes expires.
At that time, a variety of landing locations, including America, Barcelona, and the Middle East, has been suggested for the legendary player.
Saudi Arabia’s £400 million ($507 million) offer has reportedly been approved, and Messi is getting set to move to Riyadh to join his longtime adversary Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now signed with Al-Nassr. Yet according to Mundo Deportivo, such chatter is wholly off-base.
After returning to training at PSG after a brief suspension, Messi is reportedly totally focused on the conclusion of his Ligue 1 title quest.
There has been no firm decision regarding his next step as of the scheduled end date of June 4 for the French season.
Barcelona is claimed to have received no evidence that the South American has already decided where he will play in the upcoming season, despite reports that they are considering a bid to sign the 35-year-old back onto their books.
Report says that before leaving for the Middle East or the Major League Soccer, Messi wants to play at least one more season in Europe, giving him another chance to win the Champions League.
