ALBAWABA - Lionel Messi’s proposed move to Saudi giants Al-Hilal is “a done deal”, according to AFP.
The Argentine legend is set to become a free agent this summer once his contract at PSG reaches its expiry date.
The 35-year-old seems to be on his way to the Middle East to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo who moved to Al-Nassr at the start of the year.
Earlier reports claimed that the former Barcelona star received a £400 million offer from Al-Hilal, which will make him the highest paid footballer in the world.
Ramon Diaz has also stated that the Saudi club will look into the transfer once they face Al-Wehda in the King Cup final next Friday.
Messi has already been linked with a return to Barca, but the Spanish side's financial struggles will complicate any proposed return.
Inter Miami appeared to be an option as well, but a move to North America seems to have been ruled out.
