Messi’s father begins negotiations with Al Hilal Saudi … and asks for 3 times Ronaldo’s salary
Media reports confirmed that Jorge Messi, the father of Lionel Messi, the French star of Paris Saint-Germain and his agent, had begun talks with Saudi Al Hilal officials regarding the possibility of Leo moving to Al Hilal.
Paris Saint-Germain is seeking to renew the contract of the 35-year-old Messi, which expires in the summer of this year, and several clubs are seeking to contract with him, including the American Inter Miami next to Al-Hilal.
According to the French “RMC” website, Jorge Messi was recently seen with a number of Al Hilal officials, and the report claimed that Leo’s father asked for a fictional salary in order to agree to complete the deal.
And the Spanish “Cherenigto” program mentioned that Messi is seeking a salary that exceeds what Cristiano Ronaldo receives with the Saudi victory, which amounts to 200 million euros annually.
Messi’s father requested that the veteran Argentine star receive 600 million euros, which is 3 times Cristiano’s salary with victory.
It is worth noting that several reports confirmed last January that Al Hilal offered Messi an annual salary of 300 million euros.
