What risk does Messi take if he plays in the Arab League? I see no risks to play in Saudi Pro League. Messi even can get a bigger salary and he can give a big contribution to Saudi Pro League. In the future, people will always remember that Messi ever contributes to making Arab league bigger. His name will be in Saudi Pro League history forever.
Messi won't have any impact on the Saudi Arabia league, the only thing that can make him relevant is because Ronaldo will be playing there so there'll always be comparisons between them and that could trigger him to play better just as it did when both of them were playing in La Liga. Messi is a fraud when he doesn't have the whole team playing for him. Aren't people realizing that Messi career in PSG is a flop. Now if he moves from PSG to Saudi Arabia league that'll even be worse because he'll have to be carrying the whole team which is something Messi isn't capable of doing that's why it'll be a risk for Messi to move. He should have retired in Barcelona where he's been worshipped.
Ronaldo on the other hand has proven himself in whatever league he goes to which is why his move to Saudi Arabia is looking promising to him. All he just need it assist and he'll deliver goals for the team. Just as Messi is struggling at PSG, he'll also struggle in Saudi professional league. He better not come unless they're ready to bribe the referee here as they did for him at Barcelona and Argentina so he get easy calls that favors his team to win games.
