Cristiano Ronaldo in the same team as Leo Messi?
“” I was much considering joining the Saudi championship. I know the country and they created a very powerful competition which could become an important championship in the near future.
“As a tourist ambassador in the country, it was a destination that attracted me, especially because I appreciated everything I visited, due to the development of football in the country and the efforts made to create a high -level competition.

Messi towards an extension?
Messi has won many trophies and has been appointed MVP in the United States, but his contract with southern Florida will expire at the end of the 2025 season. A 12-month extension option was mentioned.
No agreement has yet been reached – which means that it could sign for a new free club from July 1 – and TeamTalk says that the Saudi public investment fund (PIF) “reopened the discussions” with Messi and its representatives, in order to assess potential interests.
