Messi PSG Contract: Saudi Football Federation General Secretary DOWNPLAYS rumours of Leo Messi joining Saudi Pro League, Argentine SET to extend stay with PSG
Messi’s contract with PSG is set to end in June, and while he is rumoured to have promised to sign an extension, intrigue from Saudi Arabia has just surfaced, which may throw a wrench in his plans to remain in France. According to reports, Messi was even set to sign a £245 million contract with Al-Hilal, the arch-rivals of Al-Nassr, after learning that his father Jorge may be in Riyadh.

Messi and an SPL side are not currently in talks, according to Ibrahim Alkassim, General Secretary of the Saudi Football Federation, who also stated that the Saudis would love to see the 35-year-old play in the league in the future.
He told Marca: ‘At the moment we do not know anything about a possible Lionel Messi arrival, although I do not hide that, as Saudi Federation, we would like to have him one day in the domestic league.’
‘The idea of the Federation is always to improve our football, and of course we would like to see Cristiano and Messi in the same league again, but the truth is that we don’t know anything now.’

Other teams that have been mentioned as potential destinations for Messi include his hometown club Barcelona and MLS team Inter Miami. Messi is expected to remain at PSG despite not having received a formal offer from Saudi Arabia or the MLS. The two sides are currently finalising the terms of their contract after receiving an offer from the French club; PSG is expected to make the announcement of his renewal soon. A big factor in Messi’s decision to sign a new contract was his desire to add to his four Champions League titles from his time at Barcelona.
This week, the Argentine played in an exhibition match for PSG against an Al-Nassr/Al-Hilal all-stars XI in Saudi Arabia, fueling rumours that this could be a step toward a transfer to a team there. Both players scored as the French giants prevailed 5-4 despite facing up against their fierce rival Ronaldo.
