Anmar Al Haili (Al Hilal President) : " We actually contacted Messi when his contract in Paris ended. We presented him with an offer of 1.4 billion euros and 88 million euros annually, but the player refused because his family wanted America. It was a surprise how the player could refuse such a huge offer for the sake of his family. It was possible to convince his family, but He did not hesitate to refuse. We respect this, as family is more important than money "
Rejecting this amount of money in favor of a lifestyle that suits his family's need the most.

Family over everything, an inspiration to us all beyond football. The GOAT easily dispelling the myth that he is a money hungry individual.

Messi didn't want to tell the oil princesses he'd hate it himself in Saudi.

The man is living life in an area of US where everyone knows Spanish. Closer to Argentina and with weather comparable to Barcelona.

Hard to not be swayed by that insane amount from Saudis, but he proved us all wrong once again.

Messi is making way more money in the US than you lot realise.


Also, Miami is splendid. Magic city is a much much better place to live in than Saudi.
