Lionel Messi has been told that he can pursue transfer opportunities freely this summer, with Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni saying that the 35-year-old can play wherever makes him feel happy.
The seven-time Ballon D'Or winner is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain with his contract coming to an end on June 30 and the legendary forward is unlikely to be short of options. One such option could be a move to join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, with a potential £320million per year deal reportedly on the table for him to head to the Middle East.
Messi is now in the latter stages of his playing career, with a move away from Europe the only likely outcome for the World Cup winner. He enjoyed a remarkable climax to his career in Qatar in December, winning the World Cup for his country and his international manager Scaloni has said that he is free to pursue any move.
