Lionel Messi: If Ronaldo gets one cookie, then you can be sure that there will be someone who will offer Messi two cookies. Ronaldo became the highest-paid player in the world when he moved from Manchester United to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Now, it seems as though Lionel Messi is going to steal the title of the highest-paid player in the world from CR7. Leo Messi has reportedly been offered £350 million a year to join Al-Hilal SFC, who are the rivals of Al-Nassr in the Saudi League. Follow Lionel Messi LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN

The salary offered to Messi by Al-Hilal SFC is said to be DOUBLE what Al-Nassr has offered Cristiano Ronaldo. The numbers on the contract would be insane if Messi decided to sign it. There have been rumors since the end of December that Al-Hilal SFC is interested in signing the Argentine.

Messi is said to be leaving Paris Saint-Germain, and PSG fans even booed him during the match against Lyon.
He was the target of resentment after PSG received FFP sanctions and an £8.6 million fine last year; another £56.3 million could be at risk, based on the club’s continued compliance with the regulations.
The enormous Saudi contract on the table is worth more than twice as much as Ronaldo, who currently earns £173 million annually at Al-Nassr. The Portuguese forward relocated to the Middle East after his contract at Old Trafford was ripped up as a result of his shocking interview with Piers Morgan.
Return to FC Barcelona?
A return to FC Barcelona cannot be ruled out for Leo Messi. The Argentine spent his whole life at the club, before having to make the move to PSG in 2021. Barcelona’s vice-president Rafael Yuste has said Barca has been in contact with Lionel Messi and his agent and has confirmed Barca’s interest in bringing back Leo.

Yuste said, ‘Leo and his family know the affection I have for them. I participated in the negotiations which unfortunately did not lead to a certain result. I’ve always had and I have this thorn in my side that Leo couldn’t continue at our club. Messi knows how much we appreciate him. I would love for him to come back. We’re in contact, of course, with them.’
