Lionel Messi is all set to leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the summer and join Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, a report has confirmed.
Messi had recently made a trip to the Middle Eastern country for which he was handed a suspension by the Ligue 1 club. The purpose of Messi’s visit wasn’t’ initially confirmed but it seems like it had something to do with the Argentina legend finalising details of his future during the visit.
Messi’s current contract with the French giants will expire at the end of next month.
“Messi is a done deal. He will play in Saudi Arabia next season,” AFP quoted a source as saying.
“The contract is exceptional. It’s huge. We are just finalising some small details,” the source added.
Asked about its reaction, Messi’s current club Paris Saint-Germain simply noted that he remains under contract until June 30.
