Al-Ettifaq manager, Antonio Cazorla, has said that there is a 'strong feeling' around Paris Saint-Germain Lionel Messi's transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Messi's current contract with PSG will expire this summer.
The Argentina captain has not made a decision on his future yet, but there have been different reports going around.
The 35-year-old is touted with a return to Barcelona less than two years after leaving the Catalan club, but it seems like a move to Saudi Arabia could be on the cards too.
But according to Cazorla, there is a 'feeling among the fans' and Saudi media that Messi could indeed move to the country, particularly after Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo's shock 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."
