Xavi Hernández had said that Lionel Messi would decide the future next week and Saturday the Catalan press reveals that Al Hilal intends to make official the arrival of the Argentine star as early as... Tuesday. The information is being advanced by SPORT, which reveals that the Saudi club is preparing an announcement with pomp and circumstance so that it has an impact around the world.
The proposal that Al Hilal offers Messi, remember, has a salary of 400 million euros per season, an amount that doubles what Cristiano Ronaldo earns at rival Al Nassr.
On the other hand, Messi wants to clarify the future as soon as possible in order to avoid 'setting up' a soap opera around his situation.
Barcelona, in turn, expresses the desire to return the Argentine star, but it still does not seem to meet the necessary financial conditions.
