Messi remains loyal to Europe
Lionel Messi’s contract with Paris St. Germain expires in the summer. Since the turn of the year, the superstar has been able to shape his own future. Messi’s contract situation is also known in Saudi Arabia. Al Hilal is said to have offered the 35-year-old world champion an astronomical salary of 300 million euros per season. However, according to ‘Sport’, that doesn’t shake the Argentine’s plans. Football fans are eyeing Messi on the European stage again next year as the star remains keen to extend his contract with PSG for another year. With the French, Messi would only earn a fraction of the salary offered from the desert, but he would not be starving.
