Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are ready to make a world record transfer offer for Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi that will see the Argentine break Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
This was confirmed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Tuesday night.
According to him, the salary placed on the table for Messi is worth over $438 million per annum.
However, Messi is believed to be keen on continuing his career in Europe, with Barcelona on the top list waiting for Financial Fair Play to make their move.
Romano tweeted: “Understand Al Hilal sent an official bid to Leo Messi: salary worth more than €400m/year.
“Leo’s absolute priority: continue in Europe. Barcelona, waiting on FFP to send bid and open talks.
“PSG bid, not accepted at this stage as Messi wanted sporting guarantees.”
If Messi finally accepts the offer from Al Hilal, he will be renewing his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo who has scored 10 league goals already for Al Nassr.
