Lionel Messi is gradually approaching a fateful decision.

The website "Goal" reports that yesterday's meeting between the world champion and representatives of Saudi Arabia's "Al-Hilal" team ended unpleasantly for the tycoons.

The forward, who left Paris Saint-Germain, informed the Arabs that he is postponing his planned move to the Middle Eastern team for years because he now has other plans.

The shocked "Al-Hilal" representatives assured the player's agent and other delegation members that by 2024, their offer of half a billion euros per season will no longer be valid.

The veteran dreams of playing for Barcelona again, but the Catalans must solve complex financial issues.

The footballer is also tempted by MLS Miami's "Inter" and several Premier League clubs.
