Al-Ahil In Talks With Lionel Messi Over Potential Transfer

Messi has been linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli as per L'Equipe. The Saudi Arabian side had earlier tried to acquire Messi's services when he left PSG in 2023. The forward, who recently turned 38, attracted attention from multiple clubs and even reportedly rejected a jaw-dropping $400million-a-year offer from Al-Hilal to sign for Inter Miami.

Al-Ahli won't have a dearth of funds to accommodate Messi in their payroll, and the AFC Champions League winners definitely push for Messi's signing, given Saudi Arabia will host the FIFA World Cup in 2034. Al-Nassr already managed to tie down Cristiano Ronaldo to a new contract, and Messi's arrival would be a great advertisement for the country.
