June 28, 2025 | Dubai, UAE. An impressive twist, slowly gaining traction regarding the Saudi Pro League, is negotiating with Lionel Messi’s contingent to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League’s obscurity in the football world, a shocking news that would ripple the football world, if finalized. Messi would make an impressive comeback to feature match DAYS with Cristiano Ronaldo, in a possible jaunt to the Middle Eastern setup.
Lionel Messi’s team is negotiating to join Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Pro League team. This would be a game-changer move in football. Key benefits would be as follows :
- 1) A potential signing would enhance the profile of the league internationally.
- 2) Attract new sponsors and add new revenue streams
- 3) The Saudi Pro League would score a massive coup if Messi signed.
Blockbuster Discussions Heat Up
The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) resumed discussions with Messi’s representatives regarding transferring Messi to the league, according to several people familiar with the discussions.
Messi is also being targeted by other sides in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, and Al Nassr, as he will become a free agent in December 2025. They are pursuing him as PIF hopes to engage players of international fame to fulfill a larger geopolitical objective. The Messi and Ronaldo reunion would elevate the league’s profile.
The Saudi Pro League, investing significantly in football infrastructure and playing talent would be greatly boosted by what could happen. The league has pulled in some big names already, like Ruben Neves, N’Golo Kanté, and Karim Benzema. Messi’s arrival would further elevate the league’s status as a world heavyweight and could lead to a bigger influx of top players, generating interest in the league.
Messi made a surprising move to Inter Miami in July 2023; however, despite Messi acknowledging the growth and potential of the Saudi Pro League, he ultimately said he considered it before moving to Inter Miami. For the Argentine superstar, his admission to the Saudi Pro League (and interest) may be a valuable selling point.
Football fans around the globe are watching the talks between Messi’s team and the PIF, and if Messi decides to make the move to the Saudi Pro League, there will be some serious discussions in the football community about what this would mean for the state of global football. The Saudi Pro League would have the opportunity to attract more players at the top level and raise its profile in the world of football, given its increasingly recognised football association and future investment in their facilities.
A Dream Team Up For Football History
If Messi joined the Saudi Pro League, it would certainly create a substantial shift in the perception of the Saudi Pro League globally, and it would also provide a major transformation of the football landscape in the Middle East. The profile and popularity of football would be raised, while also attracting more investment and interests throughout the region. The financial impacts if Messi decides to make a move will be substantial, sponsors and broadcasters will flock to the league, creating overall increases from sponsorships and broadcasting deals, resulting in more investment in football and the associated infrastructure.
Given these two giants working in unison, the world of football would come alive with exhilarating plays on the field while the Royal Saudi League could have its immense day of glory. On their joint movement, millions of eyes and dollars might pour into the league through sponsorships and large-scale advertisements.
New fans would be injected with electric adrenaline concerning the star duo, thus widening their appeal. It would be hard for any member of the general football canvas not to watch this league, given the talent and charisma of the Saudi Pro League. This partnership would give the biggest push to lift the league and put it alongside the other popularly known as big four in world football.
