So, minister determines, the player the club wants to recruit to play for them?


Keep on making yourself sad, for guy that doesn't even know you are existing.

Even Ronaldo know Messi is a mile better than him


Maybe 5 greater than 8 in Carmel league, anyway, I won't surprise, since they write their Arabic backwards.
Perhaps you should read on how transfers are resourced in the Saudi League. It is not as how it is done in the English leagues.

There are so many leagues all over the world that would gladly take him for a short spell. If done right, it may open up a new business model for players and clubs can cash in on.

For instance, if he plays in the South Korean league for a short term and it proves successful in wooing a massive audienced in that country, clubs may begin to bid to have top talent to paly for them during those short windows.

Well I think the made a valid point but in reality no one can dictate to them how they would like their league to be run so I think it's up to them to go for the best option.

The minister is not a wise man ...

Do you know the hype it will bring to the league thereby increasing marketing in form shirt sales for the club, increase ticket sales at each stadium, advert for companies etc and would have translated to increase revenue not only for the club he joined but the Football Association.

Renewing a rivalry between Ronaldo and messi given the later is in another club far way Asia in the middle east will be another dimension to football in the closing years of their career.

The minister should be relieved of his job he lacks foresight...his decision was borne out off emotions.
I can tell you for free that this event never happened.

Abdullah Hammad, CEO of the Mahd Sports Academy, said during a podcast with Arabic platform Thmanyah that Messi’s representatives approached him during the last Club World Cup, proposing a short-term deal for the Argentine star to stay active while the MLS paused for nearly four months.

The player wanted to remain in shape and prepare for the 2026 World Cup,” Hammad said, noting that he passed the offer to the Minister of Sports, who declined it. “The minister made it clear that the Saudi league would not serve as a preparation platform for other tournaments.”

Lol..
Just read up there and understand it clearly 👆🏼Saudi Pro league rejected the offer because it seems their league is not up to standard that Messi would come to keep himself fit next year's world cup.
The Saudi Pro league feels underrated

Because of oil money, Saudi no know business.

Do they know how much money they can generate with friendly matches where the 2 GOATs are playing against each other? Imagine the publicity for Saudi football.
On the contrary They KNOW Business
One Ronaldo is the face for Saudi's world cup believe it or not
Throw in his ego then you would see that having Messi there won't make sense in any way even as a short term move

The so called "Minister of Sports" must be a Ronaldo fan. He is afraid Messi will come to Saudi Arabia and do in four months what Ronaldo has not been able to do in four years.
Fear who no fear Messi
