Saudi Arabia club, Al-Hilal, have wooed Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi, with a deal worth €400 million a year.

This was confirmed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Tuesday night.

According to him, the salary on the table for Messi is worth more than $438 million per annum.

However, Messi is believed to be keen on continuing his career in Europe, with Barcelona waiting on Financial Fair Play to make their move.

Romano tweeted: “Understand Al Hilal sent an official bid to Leo Messi: salary worth more than €400m/year.

“Leo’s absolute priority: continue in Europe. Barcelona, waiting on FFP to send bid and open talks.

“PSG bid, not accepted at this stage as Messi wanted sporting guarantees.”

If Messi eventually accepts the offer from Al Hilal, he will be renewing his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo who already has 10 league goals for Al Nassr.
