The football world is eagerly awaiting news of Lionel Messi’s next destination. And in a recent development, it appears that Al-Hilal has set a date to announce the signing of the superstar.
As per reports from SPORT, the Saudi Pro League club has planned to announce Messi’s arrival on June 6. The club is waiting for Messi’s final nod before they can devise a strategy to publicize this groundbreaking news across the globe.
After a glittering career of four years at Paris Saint-Germain, Messi is now bidding adieu to the club. He played his last game for PSG on May 23 against Clermont Foot and is now weighing his options for his next club.
Though Barcelona has shown interest in re-signing the Argentine legend, their financial constraints may hinder the move. On the other hand, Al-Hilal is reportedly leaving no stones unturned to rope in Messi. The Saudi club has offered the footballer a whopping €400 million per year, which amounts to double the salary that Messi is currently earning at PSG.
Messi has already proven his worth on the international football circuit by winning numerous laurels. He has been named the best footballer in the world on several occasions, and his transfer to Al-Hilal will undoubtedly add to the club’s prestige and reputation.
It remains to be seen whether Messi will choose Al-Hilal over his former club Barcelona. But one thing is certain—his next transfer will continue to dominate headlines across the sports world.
