Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal chasing Lionel Messi with $300 million per season deal?

Another legend from the footballing world may soon be putting on his boots for a Saudi Arabia club if rumours are to be believed. Al Hilal football club has reportedly expressed interest in Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain Lionel Messi and are trying to lure him with a deal close to what Cristiano Ronaldo is earning with Al Nassr.

According to a report in Barca Universal, Al Hilal is reportedly offering the Argentinian striker a whopping $300 million per season. Al Hilal is said to be Al Nassr’s biggest rival.

Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr last month, signed a £175m-a-year contract with the club.

According to the Daily Mail, Messi’s father and ‘agent’ Jorge is reportedly in Riyadh to hold talks and look at the possibility of his son joining Al Hilal.

Messi’s contract with his French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is due to expire in June, and the Saudi club is keen to sign him as early as possible.
