Lionel Messi is set to confirm he's switching PSG for a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, according to reports.
The World Cup winner has netted 15 goals and provided a further 15 assists but with a stuttering run to the Ligue 1 title, PSG are expected to overhaul their squad in the close season. Messi still has hopes of featuring for his country at the next showpiece tournament. However sources have told AFP that a deal has been struck for the 35-year-old forward to join Al-Hilal next month.
Barcelona were also reported to be keen on a reunion with Messi but uncertainty over a sporting director hampered their chances. Messi is now likely to earn a salary of over £475million a year in his new abode after his recent suspension for heading to the Middle-East.
Messi has returned to PSG training this week following two week's on the sidelines after an unsanctioned trip to Saudi Arabia. He was left out the 3-1 triumph against second bottom Troyes on Sunday despite issuing a video apology to fans and teammates.
PSG's next match is on Saturday at home to Ajaccio and the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner could be given a last Parc des Princes cameo before the season draws to a close.
