'Done agreement' on Messi's move to Saudi Arabia - media

Lionel Messi is set to sign an "exceptional" deal to play for an unnamed club in Saudi Arabia next season, according to reports. His current club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), refused to confirm or deny the reports. Messi was briefly suspended by PSG last week after making an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia. Messi's arrival in Saudi Arabia will renew rivalries with Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed a two-year deal worth $213 million per season with Al Nassr. The money is largely paid-for by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which has invested in Newcastle United and the LIV Golf series. Barcelona had expressed an interest in a reunion, but the Spanish side's poor financial health was a major stumbling block.
