Transfer rumor about PSG star: Messi’s father denies rumors about Saudi Arabia change

Lionel Messi’s father and manager has denied reports that the seven-time world footballer has allegedly decided to move to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

“There’s absolutely nothing with any club for next year. The decision won’t be made until Lionel has finished the season. Once the season is over there comes a moment to analyze and see what’s there and then make a decision to meet,” wrote Jorge Messi on Instagram.

“There are always rumors and many use Lionel’s name to get known, but there is only one truth and we can assure that there is no agreement with anyone. Neither verbal, nor signed, nor agreed, and it will be until nothing at the end of the season,” he continued.

Extension at PSG probably ruled out

Messi’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires on June 30. An extension is practically impossible. The first rumors about a possible move to Saudi Arabia appeared in early April. The world champion had recently taken a two-day trip to Saudi Arabia as a tourism ambassador that was not agreed with PSG and was initially suspended by the club for 14 days.

After Messi publicly apologized, those responsible for the club lifted the suspension prematurely, and the 35-year-old was allowed to take part in training again the previous week. However, no decision had yet been made about a return to play.

Messi’s former club, FC Barcelona, ​​is also still mentioned as a possible target. However, the Catalans are still struggling with major financial problems. Major League Soccer in the USA is also said to be very interested in the superstar.
