Last summer, Argentine Lionel Messi was at a crossroads in his decision-making.

As a free agent, the world champion had to choose from numerous offers, among which the invitation from the "Al Hilal" club undoubtedly stood out.

Representatives from the Saudi Arabian league tried to push a contract that would guarantee the player an income of 15-20 million euros per week.

According to "Fox Sports," this way, the star could have added 900 million to 1 billion euros to his bank account per season.

However, L. Messi chose a significantly more modest offer from Miami's "Inter" team (20.4 million US dollars per season, excluding funds from sponsors), and he is still playing in the MLS league.
