In the past couple of months, football star\u00a0Lionel Messi\u00a0has been rumoured to leave\u00a0Paris Saint-Germain. Over the weekend, the Argentinian played his final game in Paris, with many speculating where he will go next.<\/p>\n

Earlier last month, Messi was rumored to be a front-runner in signing with the Saudi Arabian club, Al-Hilal. Following in the footsteps of fellow footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, fans are unsurprised by the move. Other reports indicated that Messi is still holding out to return to FC Barcelona. In a recent article from\u00a0Forbes<\/em>, the 35-year-old player is slated to be released from his PSG contract by June 30. A statement from the club confirmed his departure after this season, “After two seasons in the French capital, Leo Messi\u2019s adventure with Paris Saint-Germain will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2022\u201323 campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

In regards to his next step, French publication\u00a0FootMercato<\/em> has reported that Messi has accepted a $1.3 billion USD deal with Al-Hilal and the club plans to make the announcement on June 6 for two seasons. Messi is allegedly being offered upwards of $375 to $642 million USD a year in different reports. If accurate and accepted, he would dethrone Ronaldo as the World’s Highest-Paid athlete, as reported by Forbes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen where Messi will go following his contract with PSG.<\/p>\n

In other sports news, Tom Brady’s contract with the Las Vegas Raiders does not bar him from playing.<\/p>\n
