Major League Soccer side Inter Miami have also expressed their desire to sign the Argentine superstar while Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are also said to be keen.
Messi was recently asked about his future, but admitted he is not sure where he will end up.

"As I said at the beginning, it's hard for me to imagine, to think about things that could happen but I really don't know what my future will be and it will be whatever it has to be, whatever God wants it to be, will be."
