"I take it as read that Messi will accept Saudi Arabia's offer"

Vicente Moreno, currently the coach for Al Shabab, gave an interview with 'Cadena SER' and expressed his own views about Leo Messi's possible move to Saudi Arabia next season.

For the Spanish coach, who previously worked with Mallorca and Espanyol, the Argentinian is sure to accept the multi-million dollar offer to play in the Middle East, like Cristiano Ronaldo did, finishing his first season this year with Al Nassr.

"I've taken it as read for some time now that Messi will go to Saudi Arabia. We are talking about a player who I don't think currently needs to make a decision that is solely and exclusively linked to money. That's clear to me," the former footballer began.

Along the same lines he added: "We're talking about an economic deal that isn't easy to say no to either. I think it's a good option. In fact, we're talking about the same opportunity that has presented itself to Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and other players".

"At the end of the day, it's the player's decision. They are decisions that aren't easy, but obviously when they come with the amounts we're talking about, that intices you to accept them. Something is better than nothing and I understand that it's a way to get them to come", stated the coach.

Messi will end his contract with PSG this summer and for now has not made a decision about his professional future. Barcelona, Inter Miami and Saudi Arabia have all tried to lure him, but for now nothing has been confirmed.
