Lionel Messi is reportedly set to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, with the club deciding against extending his contract after his unsolicited trip to Saudi Arabia.
It is believed that the 35-year-old travelled to the Middle East as part of his duties as a tourism ambassador, but he had not been given approval to leave by PSG bosses.
So where next for Messi? A homecoming at Barcelona has been mooted, but it appears unlikely that they will be able to afford his salary amid their ongoing financial problems.
Al-Hilal have also reportedly registered their interest in Messi, who could receive an even greater pay packet than Cristiano Ronaldo is on at Al-Nassr if he decides to join the Saudi Arabian side.
Messi has achieved everything in the game after his 2022 World Cup success with Argentina, and seems to have suffered a loss of motivation in his last few months at PSG, so is time for him to walk away from European football?
