India, Jan. 14 -- Since his departure from PSG, Lionel Messi has been pursued by Saudi Arabian clubs for quite some time. Reportedly, Al Ittihad, who had pursued him in the past, haven't given up on acquiring the Argentine's signature. Recently, Anmar Al Haili, president of Al Ittihad, stated that he is willing to offer Messi whatever salary he desires, and also suggested a lifetime contract with the club.

"Financial gain means nothing to me; I want Messi because he is the best player in history," he said.

When he left PSG, Al Ittihad offered him 1.4 billion euros per year, but he declined as he wanted to focus on his family in the United States. "I respect his decision, but he can come whenever he wants," he said.
