Chelsea are reportedly interested in sign Argentine star Lionel Messi who is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Chelsea’s chances of signing Messi appear very slim at the moment following reports that the PSG forward has been offered a £6million-per-week contract by a Saudi club.

According to GOAL, Al Hilal are ready to make Messi the highest-paid player in the history of world football, with a weekly wage worth in excess of £6million-per-week.

Messi’s long-term rival in La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo, joined Al-Nassr in the summer, and any deal taking Messi to Al Hilal would see the two once again in competition, as they were when Messi played for Barcelona and Ronaldo represented Real Madrid.
