Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal reportedly ‘had private jets waiting in Paris’ to fly Lionel Messi back to Riyadh. 

Much speculation has been circulating over his next move, with the seven-time Ballon dO’r winner being heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, alongside Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

But today it appears that he will snub a gigantic £2billion move to Saudi Arabia, and a transfer back to his former club Barcelona, with Fabrizio Romano reporting today that the 35-year-old will announce a move to Inter Miami instead ‘in the coming hours.’ 

It also appears, according to CBS Sports, that Al Hilal reportedly ‘had private jets waiting in Paris for Messi and in Barcelona for his father Jorge’ ready to take him to Riyadh.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Lionel Messi to Inter Miami, here we go! The decision has been made and it will be announced by Leo in the next hours #InterMiami

🇺🇸 Messi will play in MLS. No more chances for Barcelona/Al Hilal despite trying to make it happen.
