Lionel Messi Reportedly 'Accepts £260m-a-year Megadeal To Join Saudi Arabian Club Al-Hilal'

Lionel Messi will reportedly sign for Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal this summer after accepting a megadeal worth £260million-a-year.

The 35-year-old Argentine World Cup winner will depart Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season and, according to reports in Spain, will snub Barcelona and head to the Middle East.

El Chiringuito TV say Messi will accept the proposal tabled by the four-time Asian Champions League winners and follow his old rival Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi.

Remarkably, they also report he will be joined there by his former Barcelona team-mate Sergio Busquets, who will accept a two-season deal, and potentially also Jordi Alba.

It emerged last week that Messi will end his two-season stay in Paris at the end of the campaign, with Barcelona's interest no secret and MLS club Inter Miami also linked.
