Saudi Pro League club launch ambitious bid to sign Lionel Messi

There's a cloud of uncertainty around Lionel Messi's future at Inter Miami as his current contract runs out at the end of this year. Inter Miami reportedly have a 12-month extension clause in place which can be triggered by the club at any time. Advertisement However, with no agreement in place, Messi is allowed to speak with any interested club outside of America. As per reports on L'Equipe, Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli have shown interest in the 38-year-old. They are keen to bring Messi to Saudi Arabia once his current contract runs out in December. However, financial details of the approach are yet to be revealed. But Saudi Arabia are reportedly doing everything in their power to bring Messi to the Saudi Pro League. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp If the deal materialises, Messi could be seen playing against his eternal rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has recently signed a new contract with Al Nassr. This could prove to be a one last hurrah for the two legends in the twilight of their career. Advertisement Where could Lionel Messi end up next year? Messi moved out of Barcelona in 2023 when he joined Inter Miami in the United States. Back then, he had offers from Saudi Arabia, but he preferred a move to Miami. @InterMiamiCF He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club, which is coming to an end this December.
