The two players who had the greatest rivalry in football history meet in the Middle East.
Multiple media, including the global ‘AFP News’, reported Lionel Messi’s (35) trip to Saudi Arabia on the 9th (Korean time). According to the news, Messi plans to transfer Al-Hilal after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ends this summer.
‘Meho War’ unfolds in the Middle East. Cristiano Ronaldo (37) joined Al Nasr from Manchester United last winter. He is currently the highest paid player in football. Ronaldo, who is also supported by the Saudi Arabian government, receives 165 million pounds (about 275.5 billion won) annually.
A new ‘salary king’ is about to emerge. According to ‘AFP’, Messi will receive a maximum of 600 million euros (about 873 billion won) and at least 500 million euros (about 727 billion won) annually.
In fact, in football history, the victory of ‘Meho Daejeon’ leaned heavily toward Messi. Messi also filled all of his career as a national team player by lifting the 2022 Qatar World Cup trophy last year. He won his second Golden Ball in his career following the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Ronaldo won the Euro 2016 trophy with the Portugal national team.
Messi’s skills are still among the best in Europe. After standing tall as the best player in the World Cup last year, he is active as the core of PSG’s attack. He is the French Ligue 1 offensive point leader with 15 goals and 15 assists this season.메이저놀이터
As the separation from PSG became more likely, FC Barcelona, his home team, also moved. In March of last year, Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste admitted contact with Messi through an interview with the local media.
But I ran into a real problem. Barcelona’s financial situation makes it difficult to afford Messi’s salary. Organizing the squad is also a problem. Barcelona president Juan Laporta has revealed that a massive release of the summer transfer market is inevitable.
In the end, Messi’s choice was to go to the Middle East. With support from the Saudi Arabian government, Messi is set to receive the world’s highest salary.
