Exclusive news from Camel Live: An insider from Al Nassr revealed to Camel Live that the club will sign Messi after his contract with Inter Miami expires. Currently, negotiations between the club and Messi’s team have entered the final stage, with both parties having reached agreement on most contract terms and set to strike a deal in the near future.
Al Nassr completed a lucrative two-year contract extension with Cristiano Ronaldo this past June, with an annual salary as high as €200 million. The 40-year-old Ronaldo made 41 appearances for Al Nassr last season, scoring 35 goals and providing 4 assists.
Messi’s contract with Inter Miami will expire on December 31 this year. Since joining Inter Miami in July 2023, Messi has made 63 appearances in total for the team, netting 50 goals and contributing 24 assists, helping the side qualify for this year’s FIFA Club World Cup held in the United States. Messi himself has maintained a high level of performance.
Considering the lack of competitiveness in Major League Soccer (MLS) and Messi’s relatively modest annual salary of just €10 million – a mere 1/20 of Ronaldo’s earnings in his new contract – Messi is motivated to secure a move.
Thus, to maintain better form for the 2026 World Cup and pursue a higher salary, Messi is set to soon reach an agreement with Al Nassr. An Al Nassr insider disclosed that Messi will sign a two-year deal with the club, with an annual salary matching Ronaldo’s at an astounding €200 million.
