To prevent Argentine migration to the Middle East, an intercontinental association had to be created.
Lionel Messi’s future is still undecided. We will remind, earlier it became known that the Argentine striker has already agreed on a contract with Al-Hilal. Behind him, a football player should receive crazy money.
However, according to L’Equipe, the striker may not travel to the Middle East. Moreover, to prevent one of the best football players in the history of football from moving to Saudi Arabia, a real intercontinental association needs to be created. These include Barcelona and Inter Miami. The clubs made a secret procedure for a potential transfer, according to which Messi would sign a contract with the representative of the American MLS, but was immediately loaned to Barcelona. The term of the transaction can be from 6 to 18 months. After the end of the lease, Messi will move to the United States and should play in the MLS, which will be very important for the image of the United States, which, along with Mexico and Canada, will host the final part of the 2026 World Cup.
However, crazy money can be an obstacle in this elaborate plan. According to the source, the American club offered the Argentine a four-year contract with a salary of 50 million euros per year. This is lower than the offer from Al-Hilal, which is ready to pay 500 million a year.
Note that this season, the 35-year-old forward played for the French PSG, where he played 40 matches, scored 21 goals and made 20 assists.
Earlier, PSG’s head coach announced that Messi will play in the final game at the Parc des Princes.
