How Lionel Messi refused Saudi Arabia’s huge salary
Anmar Al Haili, President of Ettihad Club, shared how they contacted Lionel Messi when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended. Ettihad made a very attractive offer for Messi, including 1.4 billion euros and a salary of 88 million euros per year. However, the Argentine player rejected this offer because his family wanted to move to America.
Al Haili expressed surprise that Messi could refuse such a huge amount of money just because of his family. He said that they could completely convince Messi’s family, but he firmly refused. Al Haili affirmed that Ettihad respects Messi’s decision, because family is more important than money.
Messi’s refusal of Ettihad’s huge offer has caused much debate in the football world. Many people were surprised by the Argentine star’s decision, because few people could refuse such a large sum of money. However, Al Haili believes that Messi has prioritized family over financial interests, which shows that family plays an extremely important role for him.
