Al Ahli Ambitious to Sign Lionel Messi After His Inter Miami Contract

Asian Champions League winners Al Ahli are planning an ambitious move to sign Lionel Messi — whose contract with Inter Miami expires this December.

Although several months remain until the contract ends, multiple top clubs have shown interest in the Argentine superstar:

• Barcelona
• Napoli
• Inter Milan
• Manchester City
• Newell’s Old Boys
• Al Hilal

Al Ahli — a club owned by Public Investment Fund (PIF) along with Al Nassr, Al Hilal, and Al Ittihad — has emerged as the latest candidate in the pursuit of Messi’s signature.

Messi’s presence in the Saudi League would create a colossal duel with Cristiano Ronaldo — who currently plays for Al Nassr. PIF continues its efforts to enhance domestic competition quality by bringing in world football stars.
