Zapping World Eleven Cristiano Ronaldo: Record numbers
Only two Ligue 1 games left before Lionel Messi bows out with PSG. Barring cataclysm, the Pulga will stop there with the capital club, where the transplant has never fully taken. It remains to be seen now where Messi will commit his future, he who has no intention of hanging up his boots despite his approaching 36 years.
Barca are obviously dreaming of bringing him back, MLS are still hoping to take advantage of the opener, but Saudi Arabia seem to be the fiercest contenders to sign Pulga. In addition to offering him a contract never seen in the history of football, the state could offer him a challenge he would never have imagined.
Iniesta with Messi, Alba and Busquets?
And if the Pulga reformed in its next club (Al Hilal not to mention it), a piece of Barça from the great era? The possibility of seeing Messi, Busquets and Jordi Alba evolve together had already leaked. But now, according to Sport, the project could be even crazier. Yesterday morning, we learned of the departure of Andres Iniesta from Vissel Kobe. And the Saudis would dream of seeing Messi, Busquets, Alba, and Iniesta replay in the same jersey! Without doubt the best way to convince the Pulga to accept the same destination as Cristiano Ronaldo…
To sum up
Saudi Arabia are trying to convince Lionel Messi to join Al Hilal by offering an exceptional contract and the prospect of reforming a quartet with Busquets, Alba and Iniesta. An ambitious project to attract the Pulga, similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo.
