Lionel Messi’s father Jorge arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after the Paris Saint-Germain star was offered a transfer proposal that would put him the same wage packet as Cristiano Ronaldo.
The reported offer arrived after PSG paused the superstar’s contract renewal talks. Two months ago, Ronaldo completed a stunning move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr and will earn in the region of £173million per year.
It is reported that 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.
