I read in this media about the news that Messi has signed a contract with a fantastic value and it is bigger than what Ronaldo signed, but not sure whether the news can be trusted and the news in the media was published about four days ago so it is still quite new, but it looks like FabrizioRomano will also tweet if that's confirmed, so I think this might still be a rumor, as Barcelona still seem to be working to bring back Messi to the Nou Camp
LIONEL MESSI TO PLAY IN SAUDI PRO LEAGUE NEXT SEASON AFTER AGREEING HUGE DEAL
I just checked Fabrizio Romano's tweet, as Fabrizio Romano said in his tweet and I've outlined it above. nothing is right, other than waiting after his contract with PSG expires. several new tweets, only linking it to Barcelona even though it slightly mentions the name of the club from the Saudi Pro League Al Hilal. So, it seems that we haven't gotten really official news from Messi or what has always been a reference for transfer news, namely Fabrizio Romano. because of the many journalists, Fabrizio Romano is one who has a reputation for what he said in his tweet.
Somehow I think if Messi really would go to Al Hilal, what the two Arab clubs did by spending unreasonable money just for two players would not have a good impact on the development of football in the league, maybe the SPL would get a growing publication, but the quality would not be much different before the two players came there. There will be an extraordinary gap there and welfare will only be enjoyed by a few players.
If Al Hilal succeeds in bringing Messi, maybe Al Nassr will also look at other players or other wealthy clubs in the Arab league will also bring players with a similar value to make them also get publications from the media, and because Financial Fair Play (FFP) is only implemented by UEFA so these Arab clubs will not face sanctions because of spending huge money each season, but this league is going to start to forget when there are no more great players there.
To be honest, I'm not too sure. but if that really happens, none other than recommending the state of Saudi Arabia. some rumors were spread, all this was done to draw the eyes of the world to the Arabs. plus, Saudi Arabia's candidacy to host the next world cup. because based on geopolitics, Arab and Qatar have competition. by the way, correct me if I'm wrong.
If Messi joins Al Hilal, I'm not sure if the development of football in this country will increase. but what I know, if they are serious, they have countless financial resources to create football academies for young people. that way, the development of football in this league will be much better in the next 10-20 years. One more thing, some rumors say that Busquets could play in this competition or MLS, as Fabrizio tweeted. and if so, it is possible that Messi will also be interested in playing in the Saudi Pro League.
