Messi is currently focused on the FIFA World Cup where Argentina are set to face Netherlands in the quarterfinals on Friday but, in line with recent news regarding a very big bid for Cristiano Ronaldo from Al-Nassr, Saudi Arabian clubs are also making a play for Messi, who has been linked with Saudi Pro League side in Al-Hilal.
Messi was a longtime feature at Barcelona, joining the club when he was 13 and going on to win 10 LaLiga trophies and four Champions League trophies with the club, but it is reported that it is currently unlikely that he will return. He has been with PSG since last summer.
