Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal is aiming to announce the acquisition of Argentine FW Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on June 6.

On June 3, Spanish media outlet Sport reported.

Messi, who has officially decided to leave PSG at the end of this season, has been attracting attention for his departure for some time, with Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia, Inter Miami of the United States, and his old club Barcelona often being discussed as possible destinations.

According to reports, Barcelona has been trying to acquire Messi, but due to their financial difficulties, they are not yet in a position to make a formal offer, and time has passed without a final agreement between the two parties.

Al Hilal, on the other hand, has offered Messi an annual salary of 400 million euros (approximately 60 billion yen) and is ready to welcome him to the country, aiming to officially announce the acquisition on June 6.

However, the two sides have yet to reach a formal agreement, and Al Hilal has set June 6 as the date for Messi to make a final decision, and if the deal is successful, they will officially announce the signing of Messi.

Will Al Hilal welcome Messi to the team? It will be interesting to see what happens next.
