Messi leaves France after two league titles and 32 goals, and will at least be missed by his former teammate Neymar.


Although, he has been linked with a sensational return to Barcelona, the club would likely be unable to afford his salary and stay within stringent LaLiga financial limits.

Al-Hilal have offered Messi £345million per season to follow Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi Pro League.
