The Argentine superstar is feeling "unhappy" at Inter Miami and is being pursued by a number of wealthy teams.

Currently, the contract between Lionel Messi and Inter Miami has only about 6 months left to expire, and the two sides have not yet sat down at the negotiating table. According to FIFA regulations, starting from July 1, the former Barcelona player is free to negotiate with other teams.

Journalist Esteban Edul (Argentina) revealed to ESPN that: Lionel Messi is considering the possibility of leaving Inter Miami. The 38-year-old superstar's goal is to join a more competitive league than the US Major League Soccer, in order to best prepare for the 2026 World Cup.

Knowing the above information, the two leading teams of the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal and Al Ahli, have publicly invited Lionel Messi. It is known that Al Hilal has offered the former Barcelona player a contract with "huge" benefits (salary of about 200 million euros/season).

At this time, Lionel Messi has not yet spoken. However, it is very likely that the striker nicknamed La Pulga will agree to join Al Hilal. In addition to financial reasons, Lionel Messi will also have a fairly ideal playing environment, because the Saudi Pro League is a quality tournament.

Don't forget, under the guidance of coach Simone Inzaghi, Al Hilal just had a memorable journey at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. In the US, Al Hilal reached the quarter-finals with excellent matches against Real Madrid (1-1 draw) and Man City (4-3 win).

With "strong soldiers and strong generals", Al Hilal will dominate the Saudi Pro League again, despite the strong rise of Al Ittihad, Al Ahli and Al-Nassr, the team that owns superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. If Lionel Messi agrees to join Al Hilal, he will have both titles and money.

Let's wait and see, will Lionel Messi dare to embark on an adventure in the Saudi Pro League?
