Al-Hilal boss tight-lipped as fans clamour for Messi move

AL-HILAL president Fahd Bin Nafel refused to comment on the possibility of signing Lionel Messi, insisting his Saudi Arabian side is “more important than just one player”, as fans clamour for the World Cup winner. 

“Don’t ask me about Messi,” Bin Nafel told reporters when asked after Al-Hilal’s victory in the King’s Cup final in Jeddah yesterday about the Argentine superstar’s transfer rumours.
