Former France international forward Christophe Dugarry has demanded Lionel Messi makes a statement clarifying his future after being offered a transfer proposal that would put him on the same wage packet as Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi’s father Jorge travelled to Saudi Arabia this week after a reported offer arrived as Paris Saint-Germain paused the superstar’s contract renewal talks. Ronaldo completed a stunning move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr two months ago and will earn in the region of £173million per year.
It is reported the offer to Messi contains the same conditions as Ronaldo’s, with the contract offer encompassing not only the player’s main wage but also their image rights and several contractual responsibilities. The development has further muddied the waters on the player’s future.
