To extend to Paris Saint-Germain, with whom his contract will end on June 30, Lionel Messi (35 years old, 27 games and 15 goals in L1 this season) would demand an increased salary (see the news from yesterday 6:30 p.m.). For two reasons, according to information from the regional daily Le Parisien: his new status as world champion, on the one hand, and a “pharaonic offer from Saudi Arabia”, on the other.
An offer from Al-Hilal, rival club of the one where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, Al-Nassr. And where the Portuguese has a contract of 500 million euros spread over two and a half years, the Argentinian was offered a lease of 400 million euros … per season. Enough to make him the highest paid footballer and even sportsman in history.
