LA-LIGA/TRANSFER: CAZORLA DISCUSSES MESSI'S NEXT MOVE

"They're going to sign him..."

Antonio Cazorla, manager of Al-Ettifaq, has stated that there is a'strong sense' around the move of Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain to Saudi Arabia.

Messi's current PSG deal will end this summer.

The Argentina captain has not made a decision on his future, although there have been conflicting claims.

The 35-year-old is expected to return to Barcelona less than two years after leaving the Catalan club, but a move to Saudi Arabia is also possible.

However, according to Cazorla, there is a 'feeling among the fans' and Saudi media that Messi could move to the kingdom, especially following Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo's surprise transfer to Al-Nassr last December.

"Here, there is a lot of talk about it, I don't know what will happen, but I am sure that they're going to overturn to achieve the arrival of Messi or some other great star," Cazorla told Marca.

"The feeling of both the fans and the media is that they're going the right way and that they're going to sign him."
