Al Hilal are confident they can persuade Lionel Messi to move to Saudi Arabia, but talks are continuing over a return to Barcelona, sources have confirmed to 90min.

The 35-year-old is due to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer on a free transfer after deciding against staying in the French capital.

Messi is keen to move back to Barcelona, who are working hard in the background to make a deal financially viable, but Al Hilal have made him a huge offer should he not return to Spain.
