Lionel Messi offered €400M/yr Salary to Play in Saudi Arabia
Gerard Romero today stated there’s a 70% chance messi goes back to barca with a severely reduced salary but frank says no way to barca. Romero has been right on over 90% of transfers since 2021 so SportsFila would take his word for it over frank. Lionel Messi has been offered €400M/yr Salary to Play in Saudi Arabia.
Isn’t Messi already Worth $620 million?????? He obviously doesn’t need the money not to mention with all his brand deals and business investments outside of football he’ll be a billionaire at some point regardless it would just be sad to see him going out like Ronaldo selling his soul for the oil league like just no.
Lionel Messi’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire this summer and he has four options to assess when making a decision on his future. The World Cup winner can continue negotiations with his current club, attempt an ambitious return to Barcelona or explore a new opportunity. Messi has been a long-term target of MLS club Inter Miami, but has also just received an eye-watering contract offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, worth €400m per year.
Spanish media outlet Sport report: “There was an agreement in principle for the renewal of the Argentine star with his current club, but PSG have not guaranteed Leo Messi a winning sporting project and negotiations have cooled down.

What Messi wants is to find a place on a team which can still compete for the CL title. His desire to stay at PSG was always dependent on their sporting project.
Messi is trash since he left Barcelona but he’s favored by the media that’s all. Don’t tell me about the world cup we all know the story behind it. What has he achieved about Barcelona since he left please?
Lionel Messi offered €400M/yr⁉🤯 But is money enough to influence his future?
Yes He’s HUMBLE enough to go back to Barcelona & play game in game out..; He is definitely that humble & that’s where him & his family call home & is most happy!!! Regardless of what he chooses to do he’s gonna go down in HISTORY as One of the GREATEST Players ever in Football if not the GREATEST of all time! But I do think he should come back home to Barcelona where he belongs 👀.
Força Barça 💙❤️💙
They talk like Messi is a washed-up player. Messi has the most goal contributions in all competition this season, average 8.27 rating for PSG, leading Ligue 1. He has literally been the most consistent player for PSG this season, coming off a World Cup masterclass. Messi going to Barcelona is a perfect fit, a mirror image of the Argentina squad. Barca currently has a young squad, a very strong backline developed, young and talented midfield, and experienced forwards with mixture of youth in attack. These ESPNFC guys don’t really watch games but make bold commentary.

I think this is a good time for messi to go to barca. 3 years ago in barca if messi loose the ball in midfield, pique and umtiti the ones that needs to defend usually will result in conceding. Now with barca’s consistent back 4, he can loose the ball without worry. Messi now is not immune to pressing like 10 years ago.
According to multiple reports: the Barcelona board want him back, Xavi is excited at the prospect of him coming back and constantly in contact with him, many players in the dressing room want him to come back (ter Stagen being the most recent to voice this publicly), many of the Barça fans want him back, Messi’s family wants to come back and Messi himself wants to come back.
But let’s all believe Frank who says Barcelona is not an option because he doesn’t fit the ever changing Barça system under Xavi. They recently changed to a 4 midfield system and they can change to another one when the need arises.
“The most recent of the options available to Leo Messi and also the most powerful financially, as the 400 million euros that Al-Hilal want to put on the table would make him the highest paid footballer in the world. But, on the other hand, it would also be the one that least appeals to the No 10 at the moment.
“In recent days, Leo Messi has become more and more linked with [Barcelona]. Sponsors are being sought to make the operation viable.”

Messi should go play for man City, as False9 and haaland up front with messi lurking in the box and KDB lurking on the edge of the box feeding Haaland it be a interesting concept. Man city lack abit of directness in counter attack at time with messi there it could help utilise Haaland speed and strength with messi through ball. Honestly, messi should have like 10-15 more assist this season with all the chance he created, but teammates fail to finish, with Haaland it be a goal more time then not, better than Mbappe anyway.
Undisputed Goat Messi Takes Argentina to Qatar World Cup Final
Saudi club Hilal have tabled a mega offer of €400 million per year, which would be much higher than Al Nassr made for Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
While Messi is keen to continue in Europe, ESPN stated that he is unlikely to remain in Paris.
Barcelona also remain on the periphery. The Spanish giants have been openly courting Messi, hoping to persuade the Argentine to return to the Camp Nou two years after he left the club where he won four Champions League titles. He left Barcelona when the club could not afford to renew his contract.
Club supporters are unhappy with the team since they were eliminated from the Champions League in the last 16 by Bayern Munich last month.
PSG have lost eight times in 18 games in 2023, a run which has seen them go out of the French Cup prematurely, but they remain six points clear at the top of the French table.
Messi has scored 29 goals and set up 32 more in 67 appearances for PSG in all competitions. Yet his form has dipped since he led Argentina to glory at the World Cup in Qatar at the end of last year.

i kinda understand what they are saying no big team at the moment can afford to build around him so he has to adapt little bit to other teams but most of the people forget that he adapted to play in psg ya u can say he dosent score much in psg but his job isnt scoring in psg its to serve mbappe and i think each match messi created a lot of chances but they codent finish if u want to get best out of messi he needs to be the core of the team i still think messi can performe at the highest level, only team with very strong midfield can be succefull with messi imo

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
