Reported from Daily Mail that veteran Messi, 35, widely seen as the world's best footballer, will sign a massive contract worth £522million at Saudi side Al-Hilal despite the reported concerns of his wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
The move will see him reignite his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Hilal's rivals Al-Nassr in the controversial Gulf state.
And according to AFP, a Saudi source close to the negotiations has confirmed on Tuesday morning that Messi will be playing in Saudi next season, labelling the transfer 'huge'.
The source, speaking anonymously, added the move is now a 'done deal'.
