The crazy 24 hours of rumours surrounding Lionel Messi's future are finally behind us! In the afternoon, the French media stated that the PSG striker agreed on a move to Al Hilal. Apparently, the Argentine's contract with the Arabian side is valid for two years, with the world cup winner's salary being an enormous 600 million euros per year, which is an absolute record for football.
However, Lionel's father and agent, Jorge Messi, denied the news later on:
"There's absolutely nothing agreed with any club for next season. We will decide at the end of the season. Nothing is signed, agreed or verbally agreed. Only fake news using Leo's name," the statement reads.
Meanwhile, insider Gerard Romero writes that the following situation has now developed: "In Messi's entourage there are people who want money from Saudi Arabia. Others, including Leo himself, want to return to Barcelona".

Mauricio Pochettino, who is one step away from being appointed Chelsea boss, wants to kick off his work at the London club by recruiting a new goalkeeper, midfielder and striker. However, the manager will need to sell some parts of the already bloated squad before bringing in newcomers.
Marc Cucurella and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be the first to leave Stamford Bridge during the summer overhaul. Chelsea board want to offer them to Atletico Madrid, thus making them lower the price of Joao Felix and eventually buying the Portuguese out from Los Colchoneros.
Pochettino is also looking to sign Bayern Munich winger Sadio Mane and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Italian champions flatly refuse to sell the Nigerian international, but Chelsea will try the same method used during talks for Felix, offering Christian Pulisic to the Parthenopeans.
As for Pochettino and his appointment, Chelsea, according to the latest rumours, could introduce him as early as this week.

Manchester United have prepared a huge offer for the recruitment of Benfica forward Gonçalo Ramos.
The club is willing to pay 70 million pounds for the footballer, but the amount could theoretically rise to 100 million, setting a club record for the Red Devils, the Mirror notes.
Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag approves Ramos' candidacy. Still, Tottenham Hotspur leader Harry Kane remains the main priority, but United bosses realize that it could be very hard to take the Three Lions captain from the Spurs camp. That is why Ramos and other alternative options are being considered.
