Saudi Arabia prepares for the loan of Lionel Messi

Saudi Arabia is reportedly investigating the possibility of adding Lionel Messi to its squad on loan this winter.

The superstar signed for Inter Miami in the summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. However, the 2023 MLS regular season ends at the end of this month and the new season does not begin until next February. This means that Messi, 36, will be out of the field for four months. Therefore, a transfer may be in doubt.

According to Sky Sports reporter Rudy Galetti; Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund prepares a move for Messi. The former Barcelona star rejected a £350million-a-year transfer offer from Al-Hilal, who brought his friend Neymar into his squad in the summer.

BARCELONA WANTS IT TOO

According to Galetti, many Saudi clubs could try to transfer Messi.

Barcelona are also interested in a loan deal that would allow Messi to make an emotional return to the Spanish giants. According to Sport’s claim; There has not yet been talk of a move with David Beckham’s team, but it is an option that Barcelona is seriously considering.

Inter Miami lost the opportunity to participate in the play-offs after a 1-0 defeat in the Cincinnati match.

“ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FUN?”

On the other hand, Inter Miami coach Tata Martino said about Messi’s transfer to Barcelona: “Is he going to have fun? Maybe visit Barcelona. Other than that, I don’t know anything else about it.” he said.
