Miami "Inter" forward Lionel Messi respectfully commented on the Saudi Arabian league.

According to the world champion, last summer he was one step away from moving to the Middle East championship.

"I was lucky to have several invitations on the table that interested me, which I carefully analyzed and consulted with my family.

The first opportunity was to return to the "Barcelona" team, but unfortunately, it was impossible.

I tried to fulfill my desire, but I failed.

It's true that at that time I seriously thought about the Saudi Arabian league, because I know this country. Now the Arabs have created a very strong championship, which will rise even further in the near future," Messi told the publication "Time".
