Premier League
Leo Messi is once again at the center of the international market. According to information from the newspaper L'Équipe, Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia is determined to make a media and sporting impact by incorporating the world champion starting in 2026. The Argentine star's contract with Inter Miami ends in December, and although the American club has expressed its intention to extend his contract, the Saudi interest is gaining strength.
It is not the first time that Arabia dreams of having Messi. After his departure from PSG, there were contacts that ultimately did not materialize. However, now Al-Ahli has stepped up its efforts and has been working on a proposal for several weeks that could entice the Argentine. Beyond the economic aspect, the return of the historic rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr, also plays a role.
The Media Boost Saudi Arabia Seeks
A reunion between Messi and Cristiano in the Saudi Pro League would mean reviving a golden era of modern football, this time in a completely different setting. For the Arab league, it would be an unprecedented media and commercial boost. For global football, a new chapter in the saga shared by both.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, is not giving up and aims to keep their star for at least one more season. The final decision will depend on Messi himself, who in the coming months will have to choose between continuing in the MLS or embarking on one last great adventure in Saudi lands.
