Messi is Set to Leave PSG
According to a report from Spain, Lionel Messi has agreed to join Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, along with Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets. Messi will be a free agent in June after the end of his PSG deal, and it appears that he is set to depart the club after a falling out. Al-Hilal offered Messi a world-record salary to join the club, and he has reportedly accepted the deal. Jordi Alba has also been offered a two-year deal by the Saudi Pro League side. The club currently sits fourth in the Saudi Pro League standings and hopes to make a more significant title challenge next season. Messi is reportedly set to receive an annual wage of $400 million, which would be the largest deal ever signed by a sportsman.
Chelsea Move For Sadio Mane Received a Boost!
In other news, Chelsea's pursuit of Sadio Mane has received a boost as Bayern Munich has reportedly sanctioned the sale of the former Liverpool attacker. The move is expected to pave the way for Mauricio Pochettino, the likely new manager of Chelsea, to bring in his target. Mane has not had a successful time with Bayern, scoring just 12 times in 36 matches and failing to become a regular starter under either of the team's previous or current managers. He was involved in an off-field incident in which he reportedly punched teammate Leroy Sane, resulting in a suspension and a hefty fine. According to sources, Mane was likely to leave Bayern even before the incident, and it is believed that he is not part of Thomas Tuchel's plans. The transfer market will be interesting for Mane, and it is unclear whether he will return to England or seek other options.
