It is not at all clear what will happen with Leo Messi after this season. He has a contract in Miami until December 30, 2025, and although negotiations seemed to be progressing positively, everything has stalled. There is some uncertainty about the possible departure of the best player in the MLS, and Saudi Arabia plans to take advantage of it, preparing a major economic proposal to convince him.
Leo Messi, more salary than Cristiano Ronaldo
In Miami, Messi has an ideal setting to live and play soccer accompanied by his best friends. But there are doubts: the project is not taking off, and the feelings are not good. Although the '10' is performing at the level that was expected, it is not the same with his teammates. Of Busquets, Alba, and Luis Suárez, only the full-back is convincing, and they are willing to renew him.
Inter Miami seems to have it clear and is tired of giving away money. Leo Messi's renewal is in doubt, and that's where Saudi Arabia has appeared. With a possible departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Saudi Arabia is looking for a new media attraction to replace him. That figure is none other than Messi, for whom they are preparing a great contract to try to convince him.
If Cristiano Ronaldo earns 200 million euros tax-free per season, the proposal for the Argentine star would be 250. Madrid-Barcelona has learned that the offer Saudi Arabia is preparing would be for the next 2 and a half seasons, with Leo Messi leaving Miami at the end of the year.
This means that, in total, if he accepts this multimillion-dollar offer, Leo Messi would take away a little more than 625 million euros net in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal offers Messi an ideal destination
They are going all out in Saudi Arabia, and this time it would be to strengthen their most popular team, Al-Hilal. Neymar left there recently and they need a new media face. Beyond the money, they will put forward an ideal place for Leo Messi to continue playing with his friends, offering the possibility of also bringing Alba, Busquets, and Suárez.
It remains to be seen what will happen with Messi. At times, his renewal with Inter Miami seemed done, but nothing has been communicated yet. He cares little about the money: his priority is to continue being surrounded by his friends as he has been until now. Beckham seems to have had enough, as the results are not good. The next Club World Cup could mark a turning point in the ambitious project of the United States.
