The secretary general of the Saudi Football Federation, Ibrahim Alkassim, stated that there is interest in having Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi once again in the same league. Although there have been rumors that the Argentine could join Al-Ittihad or Al-Hilal, there is no proposal on the table.
“The Federation’s idea is always to improve our football and of course we would like to see Cristiano and Messi in the same championship again, but the truth is that we don’t know anything right now. At the moment we don’t know anything about a possible arrival of Lionel Messi, although I don’t hide that, as a Saudi Federation, we would like to have him one day in the national championship”, Alkassim told the Spanish newspaper Marca.
Messi has a contract until the end of the season with PSG, but should renew it soon. CR7 joined Al-Nassr in a multi-billion contract. The stars faced each other in the middle of the week in a friendly, which heated rumors.
There is a lot of expectation on Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition to having received a high-value contract, the Portuguese is expected to bring more attention to the Saudi league. It premieres this Sunday (22), at 2:30 pm.
