The large individual rivalry of the 21st century, and perhaps even in the history of football. If a battle can claim star status, it is the one who opposes Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The two players scored El Clasico for nine exciting years, and Saudi Arabia hopes to see them clash again.
Both seem to want to participate in the World Cup in 2026, and if Portugal and Argentina clashed, it could be their last confrontation. However, Saudi Arabia wishes to oppose them again at club level.
Cristiano Ronaldo will stay in Al-Nassr
After several weeks of uncertainty about his future, it seems that Ronaldo is ready to stay in Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. This is what Fabrizio Romano asserts, who indicates that an agreement has been concluded for Ronaldo to extend his contract with Al-Nassr, even if the duration of the latter, until 2026 or 2027, has not yet been determined.
Saudi Arabia approach Lionel Messi
Meanwhile, Messi will focus on the match of the knockout stages of the Club World Cup between Inter Miami and Paris Saint-Germain this weekend, but according to Al-Midan Sports (via Sport), Saudi Arabia is about to start discussions with his father and agent, Jorge Messi. According to their information, the president of Al-Hilal, Fahad Bin Nafel, is currently in the United States and has planned a meeting with Messi Senior. The objective is to discuss the signing of the Pulga. His current contract expires at the end of the calendar year.
When Messi's contract at PSG expired, Saudi Arabia was one of the destinations that made it an offer. The Gulf country has sought to associate Messi on several occasions, and Messi is a long -standing ambassador of the Saudi tourism office.
