I talked about this before somewhere and I think that he is going to stay with PSG, I don't care what his father said or wife said or anything like that, dude will stay, that's what I will believe until he confirms officially that he leaves. If that happens then I will say that I was wrong, but until that happens I will consider him part of the PSG team and that's how the team should see him as well and try to keep him instead of punishing him and just get him to play.
You are saying that if Messi didn't apologize, you would be sure that he is going to sign a contract in the Saudi Professional League? Are you basing your conclusion only on an apology? I think that is a bit thin isn't it? If it was that easy maybe we should only see whether someone made an apology in a certain situation and then we can decide whether that player is going to sign a new contract or not!
Messi is playing almost at the end of his career. So his attitude will change a bit. His participation in the Saudi League would be a more appropriate decision than any other league in Europe. Although Barca tried to bring him back, it was nothing more than a show-off appeal. Barcelona can't afford to keep him because he left the club for lack of money he expected, so how will he return there again?. Moreover, they can't pay him more because they can't ignore UEFA's financial policy.
On the other hand, the deal with Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal worth more than $650 million has been called a rumor by many.
David Beckham and Inter Miami are still holding their hope. They think they will be able to take Messi to the southern tip of America.
It comes down to what Messi feels like. If he wants to play real competitive soccer, he can't go to the Saudi Professional League. He knows that he still has two years of high level soccer left at least. If he plays an offensive midfielder role who is more focused on providing assists than scoring himself, I think he can go for a couple of years still. At PSG when you have one player with the speed of Mbappe, you don't necessarily need another Mbappe, but one who knows how put Mbappe into action and that is what Messi is the perfect player for.
The SPL is about money only. If Messi feels the time has come to add another billion to his wallet, he will go to the SPL. Barcelona I agree, I doubt that that will happen. Now that he is so old , my dream to see him play for Manchester City together with De Bruyne won't become true
