Ighalo Departure Sparked by Messi’s Potential £320 Million Move to Al-Hilal

Odion Ighalo has reportedly departed Saudi Pro League Club Al-Hilal, and fans believe it is because Leo Messi will soon join the group. At the end of the current campaign, Messi will depart Paris Saint-Germain, albeit he has not yet chosen his new team.
Ighalo, a former member of Manchester United, scored 19 goals in the SPL this season out of his 21 goals overall in 34 games. The 33-year-old’s decision to leave Al-Hilal is therefore unexpected.

The arrival of Messi, in the opinion of the supporters, is to blame. According to reports, the club has made the winner of the 2022 FIFA World Cup a staggering £320 million contract offer. Messi will join the team in the summer, according to MARCA Chief Editor Felix Diaz.
Messi will do so, according to the fans.

Xavi Opens Up About Barcelona’s Plan to Bring Messi Back
In addition to Al-Hilal, Lionel has also been strongly associated with a comeback to Barcelona. Due to La Liga’s pay ceiling regulations, the Argentine’s contract with the Catalan club could not be renewed, and he left the organisation in 2021.
The possibility of the Blaugrana signing the Argentine superstar was raised with Xavi Hernandez. In a press conference prior to his team’s season-ending matchup against Celta, Xavi stated (via Barca Blaugranes): “I’m not nervous. I am expectant because I have been talking to him. Wherever he has gone, things have gone well for him. I would be excited, it is a more his decision, more personal. I would understand any stage, but as a culé, I would really like him to come back.”
During his time at Catalunya, Lionel penned a significant chapter. He is possibly the best player in Blaugrana history. It follows that it is not surprising that his return would be fantastical. However, it is not a simple procedure.
