It's been quite the month for Lionel Messi.
The Argentine World Cup winner, widely dubbed as the greatest player to have ever graced a football field, has gone from being suspended by PSG for an impromptu trip to Saudi Arabia - to having his season crowned with the Laureus Sportsman of the Year Award. And the frenzy around the 35-year-old it about to escalate further, with Messi now on the verge of returning to the Middle-East, but this time on a permanent basis.
With it confirmed the Parisian giants won't be extending his contract beyond the current campaign, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is negotiating a sensational multi-million pound deal with Al-Hilal. It's a move that would bring yet more exposure to the growing phenomenon that is the Saudi Pro League - not least because of the side-scripts that would accompany his arrival.
