The camp of Lionel Messi, led by his father and agent Jorge Messi, has issued an official statement regarding the future of the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Messi is currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, where his contract is set to expire on June 30th. Last week, Fabrizio Romano reported that Jorge Messi had informed the Parisian club that his son would not continue playing at Parc des Princes next season.
There have been strong links between Messi and his former club, FC Barcelona. However, in the past few days, reports from El Chiringuito in Spain and the AFP in France have suggested that Messi's next destination could be Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
It is rumored that Messi could earn a jaw-dropping sum of between €350-600 million ($383-656 million) per year in the Middle East, which would immediately put him at the top of Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid athletes. In the most recent edition of the list, Messi finished second to his generational rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Hilal's arch-nemesis Al-Nassr, with a reported earning of $130 million.
Here's the rewritten version of your text:
On Tuesday afternoon, Jorge Messi dispelled the rumors surrounding his son's future in an official statement, stating that "there is absolutely nothing with any club for next year," or rather next season, in terms of having an agreement in place.
Jorge Messi also clarified that no decision will be made before Lionel completes the league with PSG. "Once the season is over, it will be time to analyze and see what there is, and then make a decision," he added.
