PSG superstar Lionel Messi subject of staggering €88m-per-season offer to become highest: Reports
Al-Nassrs success in securing Cristiano Ronaldos signature has reportedly given other Saudi Arabian clubs confidence that they could land Lionel Messi if they made the right offer.
Spanish journalist Joan Fontes has reported that Al-Ittihad FC could make a staggering offer to acquire the services of Messi this summer.
Al-Ittihad are reportedly willing to offer Messi an €88 million per season salary on a two-year contract. If he agrees to this deal, it would make him the highest-paid player in football history.
The club are hoping to sign Lionel Messi and win the national title for the first time since 2008-09 by challenging Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, who have dominated the league since then.
The Argentines future is up in the air as his contract with Paris Saint-Germain PSG expires at the end of the 2022-23 season.
There have not been any concrete talks of a contract extension, even though the French giants hope to have Messi on their books beyond this campaign.
A return to Barcelona or a move to Major League Soccer side Inter Miami have been widely considered Messis two options should he decide against extending his stay in Paris.
Incidentally, Al-Hilals head coach Ramon Diaz recently spoke about the spending power of Saudi Arabian clubs.
