Barcelona are looking to bring back Lionel Messi this summer, but their mission is expected to be very difficult due to competition from Arab club Al Hilal who look set to spare nothing.
The race for his signature is the biggest offer ever made to any footballer, according to Jaume Roures.
Roures, who heads Mediapro and holds the broadcasting rights for La Liga, told Cadena SER that Messi’s offer had increased.
Previous reports had put the figure at around 400 million euros for a two-year contract, but Roures stated that they had increased their offer by an additional 100 million euros.
For context, Barcelona are thought to be offering somewhere around €14 million a year for Messi, over 35 times less than Roures claims Messi would earn in the Middle East.
Messi left Barcelona after more than 15 years in the summer of 2021 to move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The 36-year-old has a valid contract with the French giant until June 30 of this year
