Al Shabab's Spanish coach Moreno convinced Messi will accept Al Hilal offer

Al Shabab's Spanish coach Vicente Moreno can see Lionel Messi joining him in Saudi Arabia.

It's emerged this week that Messi's father Jorge has agreed a two-year contract worth €1.2bn from Al Hilal. The PSG star must now consider whether to accept the Saudi proposal.

Moreno told Cadena SER's 'Què T'hi Jugues: “I have taken it for granted for a long time – Messi's arrival in Saudi Arabia. Then we are talking about a player who currently I don't think has the need to make a decision that is solely and exclusively linked to money. That is clear to me."

Moreno says two of Messi's former Barcelona teammates could join him in Saudi Arabia.

“We are talking about economic offers that it is not easy to say no to either. I think it is a good option. In fact, there is also talk here about the possibility of Sergi Busquets, Jordi Alba and other players coming."
