Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami was a landmark event for American MLS. However, the Argentine himself isn’t exactly thrilled with his new league.

Details: According to Sasha Tavolieri, Messi is disappointed with the overall standard of the American league, having expected a higher quality from MLS. Meanwhile, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner's father, Jorge, is reportedly in contact with representatives of Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Investment Fund.

The goal is to lure Messi to the local Pro League as he nears the twilight of his career. The Argentine's arrival is seen not only from a sporting perspective, but also as a powerful marketing move. The specific club interested in the superstar has not been disclosed.

Reminder: Most likely, Cristiano Ronaldo will also remain in Saudi Arabia, as the 40-year-old forward is close to extending his contract with Al Nassr.
