Thing is, Messi already has generational wealth - he's always been known as a Family man - which would he rather?

Or, go to America, play with his old friends (Busquets, Alba, Suarez etc), live in a far better country / to what he's normally used to, and have a far better life for his family and kids. But also getting a great paycheque, potentially shares to buy/create a club in the league, and furthering his global brand? Easy decision for me in his shoes.

Well Messi is rich enough to put others things before a lucrative offer like the saudi one . 1-The way of life in Saudi Arabia is a whole different thing, and is more strict than how people live in the US. We got some report about how Ronaldo’s family have some hard time. Messi is a true family guy , the well-being and comfort of his family is on top of his priority. 2-The USA is the closest point to South America compare to Saudi Arabia. He is now closer to his home country. 3- There is a huge community of South American in the US , especially in Miami where speaking Spanish is almost mandatory 😂. At this point of his Goatest career, when he has accomplished everything in his sport , those a the things he will look to over money. Sure the deal form Apple, Adidas etc is one of the biggest contract he ever had , but the others things put a great amount of weight when he makes the decision.
