Messi is expected to make a decision on his next club after Paris Saint-Germain revealed his departure at the weekend.
On Saturday, the Argentina World Cup winner played his final game for PSG against Clermont Foot at the Parc des Princes.
Apart from Al-Hilal, Barcelona is still interested in signing Messi, but they are unable to make a final bid at this time. Al-Hilal, on the other hand, is willing to make Messi the highest-paid player in the world, surpassing his long-term rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s €200 million-per-year contract with Al Nassr.
According to reports, the club has offered Messi a salary of €400 million per year.
