Lionel Messi’s father Jorge Messi has denied reports linking the Argentina captain with a big money move to Saudi side Al-Hilal.
Messi, whose contract with Paris St Germain expires at the end of the season was said to have agreed to a massive $659m, but his dad said via his social media page: “There is absolutely nothing with any club for next year. The decision will never be made before Lionel finishes the league with PSG.
“Once the season is over it will be time to analyse and see what is there, and then make a decision. There are always rumors and many use the name of Lionel to gain notoriety but the truth is only one and we can assure that there is nothing with anyone. Neither verbal, nor signed, nor agreed, and there will not be until the end of the season.
“It seems to me a lack of respect towards the media where they respond, that there are those who consciously and deliberately deceive, without providing any proof of their claims, and wanting to turn any malicious rumour into news or that is directed by someone in favor of their interests.”
