It seems that Argentine star Lionel Messi wants to give more opportunity and more time to Barcelona to try to put his situation in order and bring him home.
Despite reports that confirmed that he decides his future within hours or days, media reports said that he wants to wait before making his decision and wait for Barca to solve his financial matters until the last moment and make an official offer to him with the guarantee that he registers in the league.
According to this desire, the global website "Goal" (Goal.com) claimed that Messi asked his environment to convey a message to the representatives of Al-Hilal that he intends to postpone negotiations with the "leader" until 2024.
The site follows that the members of the delegation of Al-Hilal – who were holding a meeting with the player's agents – were surprised by Messi's request after they thought that his signature is near, and they hoped that he would announce his arrival to Saudi Arabia this week and organize a dazzling presentation ceremony.
According to information published by the Catalan newspaper "Sport", the representatives of Al-Hilal warned that if the deal does not take place in the current summer mercato, the 2024 offer will not be of the same value nor the privileges of the current offer.
The newspaper reported that the offer to Messi ranges between 500 and 600 million euros per season and a two-season contract.
But the Argentina international wants to return to Barca, a team he was forced to leave two years ago, Sport confirms.
His wife and children prioritize this option and prefer to explore the latest options to see if the return is viable to this day, and despite the fact that LaLiga will agree to Barcelona's feasibility plan, further steps still need to be taken for FC Barcelona to realize its dream of bringing Messi back.
