Lionel Messi will become a free agent on July 1, and over the last few days, news has been running wild over where the Argentine will play the 2023-24 season.
It seems the 35-year-old wants to have his future figured out before the summer months begin. As a result, many are on standby for when the Paris Saint-Germain star will announce where he’ll play next season.
Spanish media outlet SPORT shared the percentages of who will land Messi with the non-European options leading the sweepstakes. According to the reporting, Al Hilal and Inter Miami share a 40 percent of signing the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner.
