MESSI STATS: The foot of God!
Lionel Messi moving stateside
Despite recent reports that a return to former club Barcelona was on the cards, the legendary Argentine is understood to have decided to make the switch stateside. Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia entered the running, but Messi doesn’t want to move his family there according to reports. There are rumours that the 35-year-old could be loaned back to Barcelona by Inter Miami initially as part of the deal, but those are still unconfirmed.

Messi scored 21 goals and provided 20 assists across 40 appearances for the Parisian side this season. Included in that tally was 16 goals and 16 assists from 31 Ligue 1 appearances. Not a bad way for the 35-year-old to bow out after a little under two years in the French capital. The great man was unable to help steer them to Champions League glory, however.
