Sports Update: Messi Courted by Saudi Giants with Record-Breaking €300M Offer Amid Contract Talks with Inter Miami

Football icon Lionel Messi is once again at the center of a high-stakes transfer battle, with Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli reportedly making a blockbuster offer worth €300 million, alongside a suite of commercial opportunities, business ventures, and a prestigious ambassadorial role for the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
If accepted, the deal would make Messi the highest-paid footballer in history, surpassing even Cristiano Ronaldo’s lucrative contract with Al-Nassr.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that talks are ongoing between Jorge Messi, the player’s father and agent, and Saudi representatives. While the Argentine superstar’s personal preference remains staying at Inter Miami to conclude his legendary career in the MLS, Jorge Messi is said to be actively encouraging a move to Saudi Arabia.
Inter Miami, for their part, are keen to extend Messi’s current contract, aiming to retain his unmatched star power and on-field brilliance amid growing interest from abroad.
The coming weeks are expected to be decisive, as Messi balances football legacy, family influence, and global commercial appeal in what could be the final major move of his career.
