With superstar forward Lionel Messi leaving Paris Saint-Germain, the race to land his signature is gathering pace but it appears that two frontrunners have emerged.
The 35-year-old icon will depart the French capital this summer and is not short on suitors, with offers having emerged from clubs around the globe. It had appeared that the Argentinian superstar was set for a move to join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, where he would have resumed his old rivalry with the Portuguese ace.
With the league season now having concluded in Europe, it seems as though the powers-that-be at Al-Hilal are willing to break the bank to land a host of stars including Messi. The Saudi outfit have reportedly offered the World Cup winner a deal worth an eye-watering $400 million per year, according to the Athletic.
