Lionel Messi to SAUDI ARABIA?! Where to next for the football legend?! ESPN FC
now these were the pictures this is the
trip that has caused so much controversy
Lionel Messi missing training on Monday
at PSG to go into a sponsored event in
Saudi Arabia PSG not happy at all he has
been suspended without pay for two weeks
many questioning whether or not he’s
paid his last game for BSG well some of
the fans hope that he has they would
have a demonstration today uh calling
for Messi to go for Neymar to go they
are not happy with what they’ve seen
happen to their Club over the past few
years
now Luis obviously this opens the door
to the big question as to where Lionel
Messi will go next there’s offers
apparently to go to Saudi Arabia for
Extraordinary amounts of money meanwhile
the Romantic for many Barcelona fans is
that he’ll return to cataluny at the
camp now Chavi doesn’t want him does he
Louise what a pain you’re building a new
project you don’t need messy coming in
ruining it all
foreign
if he wants or not but I will say that I
will go for a yes for 70 at the end even
though that you are building up and
you’re in transition for Barcelona to
become a very good and important team
next season in Champs League this season
looks like La Liga is already on the
stands I think that when you have mercy
on your side they saw there’s always
something special because not for every
game if you understand the way that the
Messi should play for Barcelona if he
arrive to Barcelona I think he always
give you something extra break up line
assisting um set pieces is always
something extra and um I will I would
expect to see I’ve seen and I read that
material sporting director of Barcelona
is going to leave at the end of the
season he was one of the person who was
not happy on that talks about the Lionel
Messi returning to Barcelona now he’s
not going to be there so that is the
over opens a little bit more so I’m I
don’t know I think that something might
happen in the coming months and we’ll
have to wait and see because 100 there
is nothing show yet
it’s very romantic isn’t it it’s having
back and we do romance for you oh yeah
exactly when you think romance Steve
Nichol and Greg no excuse me
you’re doing him and I had this nervous
why do you get the feeling that
Barcelona are going to try
and Shuffle the pieces of the jigsaw
around oh levers they’ll find many messy
leaders to get this job done and
yeah as sorry romantic and all that but
purely from a football perspective is it
the right way to go Stevie’s face why
are you pulling that face because I’m
I’m I’m trying to put myself in xavi’s
position as a coach
and you’re basically going to have to do
something that you probably you don’t
want either it’s horrible it’s an awful
place to be
why would he want why would he want
Messi back as you said he’s trying to
build something and let’s be honest
he hasn’t done any lpsg has he over the
last two years so why is he all of a
sudden going to come back to Barcelona
and and be
the message that they all love and
remember I’m sorry if I was shavi I’d be
like please don’t take them I don’t want
them they play together in a world cup
but yeah they probably can’t Tom Rooney
say that but maybe when he goes home at
night he shuts the door he’ll be then
we’ve done it he’s waving going oh but
doesn’t he come
foreign I’d love him to come back shut
up I just I always worry about going
back somewhere in a very nostalgic yeah
reasoning for doing it particularly when
he has been
the player that he was at this club
which was
out of this planet most of the time
that’s not going to be the same guy so I
don’t know maybe there’s other factors
to it like behind the scenes or coaching
roles in the future or whatever I don’t
know
but I get the feeling that Barcelona are
going to try
through hell in high water to make this
happen
and there could be some
uh collateral damage in her right with
some good players that might have to go
and leave us pooled and all that so
yeah I could see him going back there uh
he is only second though on the Forbes
list of best played Sportsmen uh number
one he’ll like this is a Cristiano
Ronaldo coming in at 136 million dollars
a year however reports are suggesting
that he’s had enough in Saudi Arabia and
he wants to come back to Madrid in an
ambassador role like you know just
you’ve only just gone now well that’s
what that’s what some reports in Spain
[Laughter]
his actions at man united I would
imagine we’re talking to Manchester
United is he he’s
look at the bigger picture yeah I’m
talking about his bunk his Bridges
in terms of the perception of what
player they might get when he comes in
right for the money and the problems so
I’m not just talking Real Madrid I’m
talking quite a few clubs uh Luis
Ronaldo back as an ambassador
I guess at some point he will be back to
Madrid he’s got his house actually is
nearby so I uh
next to him you must have a right few
quiz okay
[Music]
he will be
sorry Elise hey we’ll come back at some
stage there we are no worries
foreign
[Laughter]
that brings us the end of today’s show
do you get the feeling that’s just gonna
run out of energy
I think you go oh God
is an ambassador oh there we go well
