Lionel Messi has been offered the most lucrative contract in the history of professional sports by Al Hilal.

During the winter season, Cristiano Ronaldo was signed to an expensive contract by Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr. Reports suggest that another Saudi club, Al Nassr's top rival, offered Lionel Messi an exorbitant amount of money, which may lead to a potential face-off between the two clubs in the Saudi league.

Lionel Messi's contract with PSG ends this season, and he has several options to choose from. Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club, has offered Messi an astounding contract worth over €400 million ($438 million/£350 million) per year, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. However, Messi's priority is to continue playing in a top European league where he can compete for more Champions League titles. 

The ESPN journalist Mark Ogden has reported that Messi is giving serious consideration to the Al Hilal offer, which seems to be a 50/50 chance at this point. This could be due to his meeting with the Saudi club in March. Recent talks about an extension with PSG have been unsuccessful, making his decision more critical.
