Lionel Messi is reportedly being targeted by a Saudi Arabian club, who are willing to offer him far less than what Cristiano Ronaldo earns.
The Barcelona superstar has been linked with a move away from the Camp Nou in recent months, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
And now, according to reports in Spain, a Saudi Arabian club is interested in signing the 33-year-old.
The club in question is believed to be Al-Nassr, who are managed by former Real Madrid and Spain coach Juan Ramon Lopez Caro.
However, the report claims that the club are only willing to offer Messi a fraction of what Ronaldo earns at Juventus.
Ronaldo is believed to be earning around €31 million a year at the Italian champions, while Messi is reportedly being offered just €10 million a year.
The report also claims that Messi is not interested in the offer, as he is looking for a more lucrative deal elsewhere.
It is believed that Messi is keen to remain in Europe, with Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan all reportedly interested in signing him.
Messi has been at Barcelona since he was 13 and has become one of the greatest players in the history of the game.
He has won 10 La Liga titles, four Champions League titles and six Ballon d’Or awards during his time at the club.
However, his future at the club is now in doubt, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
It remains to be seen where Messi will end up, but it seems unlikely that he will be joining Al-Nassr, given the huge difference in wages between him and Ronaldo.
