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.
