Weather of Arabia - after the Argentine star Lionel Messi 's visit to Saudi Arabia raised a lot of controversy and questions about the fact that there was a secret deal being hatched in secret, while some sources confirmed that the Argentine star's transfer to Saudi Arabia was "completed."
Argentine star Lionel Messi will play in Saudi Arabia next season under a "huge" deal, according to what a source close to the negotiations told AFP.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity and did not mention the name of the Saudi club, said: “The Messi deal has been decided. He will play in Saudi Arabia next season.”
The source added, "The value of the contract is exceptional and very huge. We are just finalizing some small details."
In response, Paris Saint-Germain, for whom Messi is currently playing, said that the Argentine star's contract was still valid until June 30.
Last week, Paris Saint-Germain announced that the 35-year-old had been suspended for taking a trip to Saudi Arabia, where he works as a tourism ambassador, without obtaining permission from the club.
Messi's expected arrival in Saudi Arabia follows in the footsteps of his rival and arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the Saudi club Al-Nasr in a huge deal last January.
