World champion Lionel Messi is tearing his hair out over his future career path.

The veteran, who is most likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent, wants to return to Barcelona, but the Catalans have financial problems.

As reported by "Foot Mercato," the legend's father and agent Jorge has decided to speak out, urging his son to play for two years in Saudi Arabia.

During this period, 35-year-old L. Messi would earn a record sum of up to 1.2 billion euros at Al-Hilal club.

In this Ligue 1 season, the striker scored 16 goals and made 16 assists in 31 matches.
