Lionel Messi’s father has refuted reports that the Paris Saint-Germain forward has reached a verbal agreement to join Saudi side Al-Hilal after his contract with PSG expires this season. Messi’s father, who also acts as his agent, confirmed on social media that no decision has been made yet and that any decision will only be made after the season ends. While Barcelona has expressed interest in bringing Messi back, his preference is believed to be a move within Europe, and he has received a substantial offer from Al-Hilal. However, Messi is still waiting for a La Liga-approved contract from Barcelona before making a decision. PSG has reportedly decided against offering Messi a new deal after his unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia and the team’s failure to achieve success in Europe during his time there.
