The world of Saudi football may have two more football stars. Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema have proposals on the table of clubs in Arabia, according to the Marca newspaper, but nothing has yet been decided.
After the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Al-Nassr, in December of last year, the visibility of the local championship gained more visibility. The national federation is also thinking about hosting the 2030 World Cup and wants to have more sport medallions in its territory.
Weeks ago it was speculated that Messi was close to signing for Al Hilal. Even after his father denied the agreement, the Spanish press claims that the Argentine has a proposal of 300 million euros (R$ 1.6 billion) per year.
The player has a valid contract with the Paris Saint Germain until the end of the current season and there will be no renewal. This Saturday’s game, against Clermont, for French Championshipat 4 pm (BrasÃlia time), should be Messi’s last with the team.
On the side of Benzema, the situation is more delicate. The athlete still does not know if he will renew with the Real Madrid, as his contract runs until the end of June. However, the striker was approached by Saudi football with a proposal of 200 million euros (R$ 1 billion), an amount that could change plans.
