If Messi does make a move to Saudi Arabia, then it will be an important moment in football’s history.
He will follow Ronaldo’s footsteps, and will be a major addition to the Middle East, thus changing the region’s football landscape.
The move could also boost the growing financial power of Saudi Arabia, which has been investing heavily in football in recent years, and is now one of the richest leagues in the world.
Messi’s potential arrival could also attract other top players to the Saudi Professional League.
