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.
