Gallar, with all due respect, but everything in life has a price. Of course we are not talking about some illegal things that anyone would do for any money. Messi isn't killing anyone. Messi has a price and I have no doubt about that. If he were to say no to 400 million, Al-Hilal could make it 800 million. Do you really think that Messi would turn down an offer of 800 million per year? Like, you really think that Messi could say "oh no, not about the money for me, I rather play the Champions League one more year".
Why did Mbappe not go to Real Madrid? The answer is easy and short. 200 million. Not because he loves France and the city of love Paris.
Money is the biggest factor here with one difference in the case of Messi. We are talking numbers that we could have never imagined to be talking about in soccer. But the Saudis make it happen because they have a plan and all the money in the world to realize that plan.
Messi already has a lot of money, and I mean A LOT of money, which means that he can reject it and still do fine, I do not think that he would be starving if he rejects it. By comparison, I have more debt than I can pay right now, thankfully it is month by month but I do not have enough money to cover my debt let alone anything else, and I would reject going to Saudi Arabia and living there for a year let alone do what I do as a business.
If they offered me, a regular person, literally just a normal guy, nothing special about me, 500 million to go there and live just one year, and not even multiple years, just one year? I would reject it. I rather be in prison in my own nation than live in Saudi Arabia. It's not even about Saudi Arabia, don't get me wrong, I do not want to upset anyone from there, you have a lovely nation I am sure, I have nothing against that, I just prefer my own nation to any other nation.
