The Argentina great, fresh off winning the World Cup in December, is essentially a free agent after bidding adieu to Paris Saint-Germain. The big question now surrounds where Lionel Messi will head next. Things are still up in the air, however, sparking frenzied rumors about the next destination of one of the greatest soccer players in history.
There`s the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia, where attempts to bring in some of soccer`s most high-profile if aging stars ratcheted up when the kingdom`s sovereign wealth fund took a majority ownership stake of four of the country`s top clubs. They include Al-Nassr, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo since January; Al-Ittihad, the new team of reigning world player of the year Karim Benzema; and Al-Hilal, the team heavily linked with a move for the 35-year-old Messi.
