Messi gets the ’mother of all offers’ from Al Hilal, €400m per season!

Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano published it and Spanish sports newspaper MARCA confirmed it. Saudi Arabia's most prestigious club Al Hilal has made a mouth-watering offer to Leo Messi, which is €400 million per season!

The news that was confirmed by this outlet arrives in tangible form for the first time, it confirms how Saudi Arabia had been trying to lure the Argentine superstar to the country. Al Hilal is a state-controlled club that is willing to pay that much money to Messi, which would be the biggest sum of money received by any footballer in history.

These €400 million would come less than a season after Cristiano Ronaldo was offered €200 million by rival club Al Nassr, which he ended up taking. It is poised to defeat any other offer before and break all records.

But Fabrizio Romano also confirms another aspect MARCA revealed from this negotiation. The Argentine star's main priorty is to remain in Europe, which is either PSG, Barcelona or another last-minute surprise.

Barcelona dreams of getting Leo Messi back but there still hasn't been a concrete offer made to him. Also, PSG already made that concrete offer to the Messi clan but neither Messi nor his father have responded to this offer. The situation has also stalled because Messi is looking for a winning project and the PSG supporters responded by jeering him at Parc des Princes.

The situation remains quite open but with literally hundreds of millions of Saudi bills on the table. What will Messi decide next summer?
