AFPPIX: Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal will not allow Lionel Messi transfer talk to derail their bid to retain the Asian Champions League title on Saturday, coach Ramon Diaz told reporters.
Diaz refused to comment on reports that Al Hilal have already made Messi a multimillion-dollar offer, saying his team are thinking only of winning a record fifth Asian title.“We have a final, and after the final we will see what’s going to happen.” Al Hilal's Saudi rivals Al Nassr made global headlines when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo in December on a deal to June 2025.
Al Hilal and Urawa are meeting in the final of Asia's premier club competition for the third time in six years -- Urawa came out on top in 2017 but Al Hilal got revenge two years later.
