Recently, Lionel Messi has been grabbing headlines for quite a few reasons. To start with, the Argentine soccer legend is looking for a new soccer club. If reports are to be believed, the World Cup winner will not renew his contract with the French club due to disagreements with Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, taking advantage of this situation, the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal reportedly offered Messi an unbelievable salary package to join the club.

While his reported contract continues to gain the attention of soccer fans, Messi, on the other hand, attended the Laureus Awards ceremony and won a popular award. Considering his immense popularity, countless celebs across the world congratulated Messi for his big achievement. But what caught more attention was that his rival Cristiano Ronaldo‘s partner Georgina Rodriguez also reacted to Messi’s big win.

Lately, Lionel Messi won the Laureus Sportsman of the Year award for his incredible show throughout the year. The soccer veteran collected the prestigious accolade on stage in Paris. This is only the second time he has won this award. In 2020, the Argentine soccer legend shared the award with Lewis Hamilton. Along with his personal achievement, he also collected the World Team of the Year award on behalf of his Argentine teammates.

He became the first-ever individual to claim the Sportsman of the Year award and World Team of the Year award in the same year. In appreciation of the same, his loving wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, posted a heartwarming message for Messi on Instagram. Along with their picture, she wrote, “Love congratulations!! You deserve this and much more!”, in Spanish.

Amongst all the glory, Messi needs to take a serious decision about his future soccer club.

Will Lionel Messi follow in the mighty footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo?

While FC Barcelona remains the favorite to re-sign Messi, they might not have the financial capacity to accommodate him. Several reports also suggest that the Spanish soccer giants can only offer him up to $12 million per year. Additionally, the report claimed that he is ever ready to make the financial sacrifice to rejoin FC Barcelona.

It is important to remember that he also has another option. Saudi Arabian soccer club Al Hilal has also made a gigantic offer for the World Cup winner. Cristiano Ronaldo’s domestic rivals have reportedly offered Messi a $440 million deal. That is straightaway double Ronaldo’s $220 million package.

The jury is still out there on whether Messi will wait for FC Barcelona to resolve its FFP tussle or move out of European soccer completely, just like his arch-rival.
