He was linked to Barcelona return, a move to MLS side Inter Miami and a move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal tabled a record £260m offer for Lionel Messi which will make him the highest-paid player in the world.
However, Messi Al-Hila links was a matter of speculations as agreement between both parties was yet to be confirmed.
Now, it has been confirmed that Messi has sealed a deal with Al-Hilal to join the club at the end of the summer.
According to AFP, a Saudi source has disclosed Lionel Messi has sealed a deal for Al-Hilal.
According to the source, negotiations between Lionel Messi representatives and Al-Hilal has been concluded today in the morning and the PSG forward will be plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League next season.
Details of the deal reveal Messi will earn about £522m in the deal which is a two-year offer worth £261m every year.
This means the Argentina 2022 World Cup hero and seven times Ballon d’Or winner will reunite with his old time rival, Cristiano Ronaldo who is playing for Al-Nassr.
However, there have been rumors linking Ronaldo to Al-Nassr exit but if the Portugal international ends up staying to complete his two-year contract with Al-Nassr, the old time rivalry between the two players back then in LaLiga could be recreated in the Saudi Pro League when Al-Nassr clashes with rival Al-Hilal.
