The legendary Argentine footballer spoke about the choice he faced when deciding what his career would be.
Lionel Messi could end up in Saudi Arabia instead of the American MLS. The legendary Argentine striker himself spoke about it. According to the footballer, he first thought about returning to Barcelona, but later he was faced with a choice – to move to the Middle East or to the United States.
“I have some interesting options and I need to study them and think about them and weigh them with my family before deciding to go to Miami.
The first option was to go back to Barcelona, but this was impossible. I tried to go back, but it didn’t happen. Saudi Arabia has been active. It is also true that later I thought a lot about moving to the Saudi Arabian Championship. I know the country, they have created a strong championship that could become an important league in the near future.
As the country’s tourism ambassador, I was drawn to this place, especially because I enjoyed everything I went to. And also because of how football is developing in the country and what efforts they are making to create a top championship.
Saudi Arabia or MLS – both options seem very interesting to me,” Messi was quoted as saying by Time.
We remind you that in 14 matches for American Inter Miami, Messi scored 11 goals and made five assists.
Earlier, the Argentine talked about his problems after moving to Florida.
