Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has admitted he would love to sign Lionel Messi for Al-Ettifaq
Jordan Henderson ’s move to Al-Ettifaq might not have worked out as planned, but that hasn’t stopped Steven Gerrard from eyeing up more high-profile signings.

"It's a dream for me to have Messi at Al Ettifaq,” he recently admitted to MBC Masr 2. “He is an incredible player and would be a great asset for the club. I know it's difficult for him to move to Saudi Arabia, but there's nothing wrong with dreaming." However, with Messi under contract until the end of the 2025 season, Gerrard’s dream is set to be left unfulfilled. The Argentine has already confirmed his remaining career plans, with a move to Saudi Arabia not on his radar, as he acknowledged retirement is closing in.
