Al-Ittihad FC has offered to make Lionel Messi the highest-paid footballer on the planet if he decides to join the Saudi Arabian top club in the summer.
Messi’s future has been up in the air recently as the 35-year-old is yet to commit to a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain with his current contract set to expire in June.
According to PSG Talk, Al-Ittihad FC is willing to offer Messi an €88 million per season salary on a two-year contract, making him the highest-paid player in football history.
Messi’s long-term rival Cristiano Ronaldo currently has the biggest contract in world football at the moment after the Portuguese penned a whopping €200 million contract with Al-Nassr.
Barcelona and Inter Miami are also two of the other clubs interested in signing Messi if the Argentine decides to leave PSG at the end of the season.
