Beyond Ronaldo! Messi will go to Riyadh New Moon, with an annual salary of US$215 million, and the two sides will meet immediately

On June 29, 2025, according to the foreign media "euroweeklynews", Messi will switch to the Saudi League and join the Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent. Saudi Arabia also offered a sky-high salary of US$215 million in tax-free annual salary. It is understood that Ronaldo's annual salary for victory in another Saudi giant Riyadh is only US$200 million. This time, Riyadh New Moon offers Messi more than Ronaldo, and Messi will become the highest-paid footballer.

At the same time, the Saudi media also confirmed the news and followed up with the report that Messi's father and agent Jorge will soon meet with Fahd, the senior executive of the Riyadh Crescent Club, and the two sides will discuss Messi's joining. At present, Fahd is following Riyadh Crescent in the Club World Cup, and Messi is also fighting for the Club World Cup, so it is more convenient to meet and communicate with both sides. It is reported that Riyadh Crescent is very confident to convince Messi to join.

Everyone knows that Saudi tyrants are not short of money, and what they are most confident about this time is the sky-high annual salary they offer. Currently, Messi plays for Miami International, a UEFA giant, with an annual salary of 10.592 million euros and has a contract with the team for about 6 months. It can be seen that the annual salary offered by Saudi Arabia is 20 times that of Messi now, and it is also a tax-free annual salary, which seems very attractive to Messi. In addition, more and more world-class stars have gone to the Saudi league, so this seems to be a major advantage that attracts Messi.

At present, although Messi's net worth has dropped to 18 million euros, he is still in good shape. This season, Messi has made 23 appearances for Miami International, scoring 16 goals and assisting 5 times. It can be said that Messi can also play a role when he goes to Riyadh Crescent, not just a "mascot". Currently, Riyadh Crescent itself has 9 forwards, including Mitrovic, Marcos and Salem, three of them are the main players, but none of them has a reputation that can surpass Messi. His joining will bring more attention to the team.

On the other hand, Ronaldo has played for Riyadh victory. If Messi comes to Riyadh Crescent again, then the two football prides will definitely bring a wave of viewing frenzy to the Saudi League. Although the two football champions are infinitely close to the end of their careers, Messi and Ronaldo are still the most influential stars in the world football world. Not long ago, Ronaldo had just renewed his contract with Riyadh for two years and will play until at least the summer of 2027. Now, Messi is also likely to come to Saudi Arabia, and Messi is expected to be in the same frame again.

Although Saudi Arabia is very confident and Messi's father is also interested, Messi himself has not made a statement in person, and there may be variables. I believe that as time goes by, the matter of whether Messi will switch to Saudi Arabia will be confirmed. Do you think Messi will switch to the Saudi League and join Riyadh Crescent this time? Welcome to leave comments and communicate together.
