The decision will not be settled until Lionel Messi wraps up the season with Paris Saint-Germain, according to a statement attributed to Jorge Messi. The Messi family has not confirmed any agreement with a Saudi club, and the claim about a deal with Al Hilal remains unverified. In reality, there is no signed contract, no verbal agreement, and no formal handshake with any club for the coming year. The family stresses that final decisions will only be made after the current league campaign concludes, when it will be possible to assess all options and potential next steps in a calm, orderly manner.
Jorge Messi emphasized that rumors persist, often using Lionel’s name to attract attention. He insisted that there is no truth to the rumors of a next move and underscored that no club has secured Lionel’s services for the next season. The family made it clear that neither a formal agreement nor a verbal understanding exists with any team, and that the final answer will only emerge once the season ends and careful evaluation takes place.
The statement also touched on the conduct of the media, noting a perceived disrespect when outlets report without evidence. It criticized those who knowingly spread misinformation and turn it into news without verification, arguing that such tactics undermine trust and mislead fans and stakeholders alike.
There is a call for accountability, urging journalists and outlets to check facts before publishing and to resist framing unfounded reports as breakthroughs. The Messi family, through their channels, urged media entities to refrain from spreading rumors driven by personal interests and to allow the truth to surface only after thorough verification and official confirmation.
As the season progresses toward its conclusion, observers and supporters will continue to watch for any official announcements. Until then, the discourse around Lionel Messi’s future remains shaped by careful statements from his representatives and a clear insistence on waiting for concrete results rather than speculative headlines.
