Season 2021 saw one of the biggest transfer widow earthquakes in recent decades – Lionel Messi moved from Barcelona to PSG on a two year deal. So, in 2022, the world of football was spared from another Messi saga but now, when his two year contract is up, rumors are now circulating again. The negotiations about an extension in Paris, which started optimistically in January broke down after a few months, and after hostility from the fans and suspension for his unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, the Argentinian ase is certain to leave. He obviously has three options: go to Barcelona, or go to Saudi Arabia, or go to the USA. But, his teammate has another idea – Premier League.Lionel Messi stats for this season. pic.twitter.com/YTee1c31Om— Frank Khalid OBE (@FrankKhalidUK) May 23, 2023 Former Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Dibu Martinez was one of the key members of the Argentina squad at the World Cup and created a strong bond with Messi. And the prospect of playing with his teammate on a week to week basis is something Martinez is dreaming of, even thou it’s not a realistic option.„I would bring him to Aston Villa. I would tempt him with a mate (a South American drink), I’d make roasts for him every weekend, I’d ask people to make little flags for him and he has a good time. I will reduce my salary for Messi if necessary“ said Martinez with a smile.Messi’s father denies Saudi Arabia rumors, blames mediaOn a more serious note, out of the current options, the Spanish media reports that Messi is closer to the Barcelona one, even thou it means less money, and the transfer to the USA is also close to his heart, as he already stated that he would like to finish his career over there. But, his father (and advisor) is in favor of a Saudi Arabia move, something Messi is not keen to do, but won’t go against his father’s wishes, and that’s the problem. According to Catalan television Betevé, Jorge Messi would be much more seduced by the colossal offer proposed by Saudi Arabia. A contract has been put on the table by Al-Hilal. It covers two seasons and 500 million euros, plus numerous bonuses. According to the various sources, this sum includes the two years of contract, while others claim that he will receive this sum each year. In both cases, a lot of money.Anything for Messi’s signature – The most lucrative offer in the history of sports!Just recently, Dutch legend Marco van Basten was commenting about a possible Messi landing spot and said quite honestly: “You’ve earned plenty, go do things you like. I can’t imagine that. You are your own boss, aren’t you? You can play football wherever you want, right?” he asked during a conversation at Rondo on Ziggo Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_7277210##
