The reasons why it would not be utopian for Lionel Messi to leave PSG, not return to FC Barcelona and end up joining Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are beginning to circulate. It seems that Lionel Messi's business trip to Saudi Arabia and the scandal that followed his visit to Paris Saint-Germain is just one of the first chapters in a series that is set to capture the biggest audience of the upcoming European summer transfer window.
Because it turns out that the week of 8 May (a little over a month and a half from the opening of the transfer window) began with a new rumour that shook up the viable scenarios so far and that places La Pulga, no longer at Fútbol Club Barcelona (still in the process of finding space in their wage bill), but at Al Hilal of the Saudi Professional League, the team that offered him the hefty contract of 400 million euros per year.
In this regard, the Spanish programme El Chiringuito, provided two pieces of information that could be the reasons why Lionel Messi would have started to consider the option of landing in Saudi Arabia rather than returning to FC Barcelona, once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain is up (it ends on 30 June).
While the Argentinian wants to keep earning millions, Senegal's Sadio Mané is humbling himself and on his return to Liverpool, after a bad experience in Germany, would prove that for him money comes second. According to the German newspaper, he will accept a lower salary than he receives at Bayern, i.e. around 14 million a year, in order to return to Anfield.
