Messi will get a lucrative contract with Inter Miami and there is no doubt regrading that. But no matter how lucrative it is, the new contract will be nowhere near the one that Al Hilal was offering. They were willing to pay up to $1.2 billion for just two years. Initially I thought that Messi rejected the offer from Saudis because he wanted to move to Barca. But then that was also not the case. If that was the excuse, then Messi would have said that he wanted to stay in Europe since the quality of competition is quite high. But with MLS there is no such excuse. The quality is even worse compared to the Saudi Professional League.

It seems that most sports are being bought by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc. There seems to be a focused investment in sports from those countries.

Not sure what's up, but these players and lots of people around them are getting a huge amount of money.

Letting countries like Saudi Arabia or Qatar host the world cup will definitely damage the tournament because the only thing they can do is just spend money and there are not enough facilities there unless just like what Qatar has done in the past, Saudi Arabia spends money and hire workers from other countries to build stadiums and we can have another shiny but dirty world cup.
