Lionel Messi makes special request in Saudi transfer talks after Barcelona stance revealed

Lionel Messi's future remains up in the air after the World Cup winner played his final game for Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.

Messi's two-year stay in Paris ended acrimoniously, with the 35-year-old booed by fans on his final appearance after being suspended by the club over a trip to Saudi Arabia back in May. There has been much speculation over where the Argentine superstar will be playing his football next season, with a potential return to Barcelona or a lucrative move to Saudi side Al-Hilal his most likely destinations.

Al-Hilal are said to have offered Messi a contract offer that would see him earn double what Cristiano Ronaldo is being paid by fellow Saudi side Al-Nassr. Barcelona, meanwhile, have made no secret of their desire to re-sign Messi.
