With Messi set to leave PSG this summer, Dutch legend, Marco van Basten has been critical of his rumoured big-money Saudi move.
The Dutchman talking on Rondo on Ziggo Sport said:
‘I think it’s poor. That you still have to go there for a lot of money.’
‘You’ve earned plenty, go do things you like. I can’t imagine that. You are your own boss, aren’t you? You can play football wherever you want, right?’
Earlier reports claimed that Messi had agreed a deal to join Al-Hilal.
But in a statement posted on social media, his father denied these claims.
