I don’t understand why people say that Messi should retire in Barcelona. Because Lionel Messi has achieved everything that can be achieved in football. Now it will be much more important for him to actually get a really huge salary towards the end of his career. That’s why I believe he should go and play for the Saudi League. 400, million is a huge amount of money. Unless Barcelona is giving him at least 200 million, I will say Lionel Messi should go into the Saudi League. Lionel Messi has also achieved, almost everything with Barcelona. Really is no solid reason for him to go back again.

Because many people really hope Messi will retire in the team where Messi's football career started until he reached the GOAT title in Barcelona, so they're expect Messi should be royal and thank to Barcelona, but it's really don't make sense at all lol. Messi and Barcelona doesn't having any personal problems, Messi just choose his future path and Barcelona agree with it. It's not like Ronaldo who get terminated by Manchester United Tongue

Fairytales are only fun to hear. But whenever someone tends to think logically, these fairytales go out the window. If Lionel Messi just thinks about it, logically, he really should not go back to Barcelona. He should choose money. He should choose 400 million instead of going to the broke club which forced him out.

For players like Lionel Messi, money is no longer the main goal in playing football. It's true he's won everything in Europe, including money. All the luxuries he has are the result of his hard work as a soccer player. An offer from the Arab League is difficult for anyone to refuse, Ronaldo, who wants to continue his career in Europe to be able to play again in the UCL, cannot refuse a large salary offer from the Arab League.
Messi current situation makes it very possible for him to survive on the European stage, apart from Barcelona who still really want his services, Manchester City are also trying to persuade Messi to land at the Etihad stadium. I think Messi will continue to play in European competition even though the salary received is smaller than that offered in the Arab League, because the level of European competition is far above Asian competition.

What goal should Lionel Messi have other than money right now? He has achieved everything there is to achieve in football. He really should go for the money. He should also understand that if he does not perform as well, as he is being expected by a lot of people in Barcelona, his value is going to decrease no matter what.
