Rumors have been circulating that Lionel Messi is set to make a massive £400 million ($507m) move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, joining his long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo in Riyadh. However, according to a report obtained by Mandy News, these claims are unfounded.
False Reports
It was reported by elchiringuitotv that Messi had already accepted a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal, but Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo has refuted these claims. The Argentine forward is said to be focused on finishing the current Ligue 1 season with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where he recently returned to training after serving a short ban.
The season in France is not due to finish until June 4, and no definitive call has been made on his next move.
Barcelona and Messi’s Future
Barcelona has also been linked with a potential bid to bring the 35-year-old back to the club. However, there is no indication that Messi has decided where he will be playing next season. With his contract at PSG set to expire at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, various destinations have been suggested, including America, the Middle East, and a return to Barcelona.
Suspension Lifted
Messi recently faced a suspension from PSG for missing a training session due to a trip to Saudi Arabia. Although the club did not officially confirm the lifting of his suspension, a source told The Associated Press that Messi resumed training after the suspension was lifted.
Mandy News reported that PSG forgave Messi after he released a video apologizing for the incident and explaining that he thought it was a day off, which led to his holiday in Saudi Arabia with his family.
