The latest report suggests that Lionel Messi is poised to sign a staggering deal worth £260 million per year with Al-Hilal, a Saudi Arabian football club.

The 35-year-old will reportedly leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season following some controversial incidents during his time with the French club.

Despite being linked with a return to Barcelona in recent months, Messi seems to have opted for a move to Saudi Arabia.

The Argentine's decision to snub Barcelona may have been influenced by the club's financial difficulties, which have made it difficult for them to secure a deal with Messi.

Nonetheless, Messi's move to Al-Hilal is set to make him one of the highest-paid footballers in the world.

Troyes hosted Paris St-Germain in a match that could see PSG move closer to clinching their 11th Ligue 1 title, and the Parisians did not disappoint, securing a routine victory.

Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring for the reigning champions in the eighth minute before Vitinha doubled their lead midway through the second half.

Xavier Chavalerin managed to pull a goal back for Troyes late on, but PSG quickly responded, adding a third through Fabian Ruiz.

This win puts PSG within touching distance of the title, needing just seven more points to secure a record-breaking 11th French title.

Despite coming into the game with a mixed run of form, having lost three of their previous six fixtures, PSG were dominant throughout, showing their quality even without the suspended Lionel Messi.

With four games remaining this season, PSG sit six points clear of second-placed Lens, and the title race looks to be all but over. Meanwhile, Troyes remained in 19th place, 12 points from safety, and must win all their remaining matches while also hoping for other results to go their way if they are to pull off an unlikely survival.

Manchester United's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League have been dealt a blow as Brighton scored a last-minute penalty to secure a thrilling victory and keep their own European ambitions alive.

Alexis Mac Allister converted the penalty in the 99th minute to settle the game in a dramatic fashion.

Despite still holding the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot, Manchester United are now just four points ahead of Liverpool, who are in fifth place and have played two more games than them.

Brighton's relentless approach finally paid off in the end after Luke Shaw handled the ball, leading to a penalty awarded after a video assistant referee review.

Brighton, currently in sixth place, are now only four points behind Liverpool, and their celebrations at the final whistle contrasted sharply with their defeat by Manchester United on penalties in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley less than two weeks ago.

Both teams had chances in the game, with Antony having a shot go wide for United in the opening seconds, while Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial forced Brighton keeper Jason Steele into crucial saves.

Brighton, buoyed by their recent 6-0 victory over Wolves, played with the flair and energy that has become their hallmark. Kaoru Mitoma missed a couple of good chances, while Danny Welbeck was also unable to convert a promising opening.

In stoppage time, Brighton piled on the pressure, with David de Gea making impressive saves from Mac Allister and Pervis Etupinan, before the winning penalty was finally converted.
