“Messi in Arabia at Al Hilal, it’s done”, Saudi sources say the deal is concluded – Corriere.it

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo should return to challenge each other from next season (provided that Ronaldo is not kicked out of Saudi earlier). According to the news agency afp a Saudi source – who has chosen to remain anonymous – at the end of the season the Argentine will leave Paris Saint-Germain and “sign a huge contract” with Al Hilal, Al Nassr’s bitter rival where the Portuguese plays.

“It’s a deal done.” The French agency also sought a comment from the PSG, receiving in exchange a laconic reminder that the Pulce contract expires on June 30th.

In recent weeks, the captain of world champion Argentina, the day after a home defeat by PSG, had flown to Riyadh without the club’s permission. And it was immediately thought it was, more than for the commitments of ambassador towards the 2030 World Cup, to negotiate a transfer and go to play there from next season. Leo has been for months in fact courted by Al-Hilal, the rival club of Al-Nassr by Cristiano Ronaldo.

On his return to France, he had somehow been suspended for two weeks even though yesterday, after about one, he was “forgiven” and reinstated for training.
