Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, and its president Anmar Al Haili, has just revealed what they proposed. "We made him an offer for 1.4 billion euros," he said in an interview. And then he explained why the deal did not go through.

"The player refused because his family wanted to go to America. He turned down such a big offer for the sake of his family despite having convinced them. However, he did not hesitate to reject it because family is more important than money", Al Haili stated. And obviously, it sparked a lot of discussion.

The record Messi chose not to break

Messi's journey at PSG was coming to an end after two seasons filled with challenges in the French capital. After winning the World Cup with the Argentine national team, he found himself at a crucial crossroads when facing multiple offers to define the next chapter of his career. Despite persistent interest from FC Barcelona, Messi decided to move away from this possibility due to uncertainties surrounding his late registration. It was at this crucial moment that Saudi Arabia burst onto the scene with a dazzling offer of 1.4 billion euros, seeking to secure the addition of the Argentine star to their ranks.

It is worth mentioning that Messi had shown a strong willingness to join the team that has Neymar. But of course, he ultimately ended up leaning towards Inter Miami in mid-2023.

Messi, the decision that increasingly shows him as an unmatched leader

1. What motivated Messi to reject Saudi Arabia's offer despite its substantial sum?

  - Messi prioritized the well-being and desires of his family, who longed for a fresh start in America, leading him to decline the Saudi offer despite its magnitude.

2. What was the determining factor in Messi's decision to join Inter Miami?

  - The influence and opinion of his family played a crucial role in Messi's final choice, as he opted to accept Inter Miami's proposal to embark on a new chapter in his career.

3. How is Messi expected to approach his participation in the Copa America after this groundbreaking decision?

  - It is expected that Messi will focus all his energy on preparing for the Copa America with Argentina, where he will seek to shine once again and lead his team to glory.

Saudi Arabia's multi-billion euro offer, amounting to 1.4 billion euros, was revealed by the president of Al-Hilal, Anmar Al Haili, who shared fascinating details about the negotiation with Messi. Despite the efforts made by the Saudi team, Messi ultimately declined the proposal in favor of a destination closer to his heart: America. Inter Miami emerged as the chosen destination for the Argentine star, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his football career.



Messi's decision to prioritize his family's well-being over the unprecedented monetary offer demonstrates the deep connection and rooted values that guide his decisions. His arrival at Inter Miami promises to be a significant milestone in the history of football in the United States, where Messi will continue to leave an indelible mark on the sport he loves.

 

 

Messi's rejection of Saudi Arabia's offer, despite its tempting value, will resonate in football history as an example of integrity, family loyalty, and determination in pursuing a purpose beyond money. His decision to join Inter Miami represents a new beginning full of promises and challenges, where the Argentine genius is expected to shine once again in the Copa America and beyond.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.

(Por Taylor-Molina) El gobernador Spencer Cox (Utah) califica el hecho como "asesinato político"; Trump ordena banderas a media asta y promete "justicia". La comunidad internacional está conmocionada. La paradoja es que tanto se dice que la derecha, los conservadores, los libertarios atacan a la prensa, hoy una vez más, todo pensador, esta vez un comentarista y miembro activo de los medios,  defensor de la familia,  del matrimonio, de las libres ideas, de la fé judeo cristiana, del respeto por la mujer,  por los niños, por la libertad, es asesinado.
