According to a recent Instagram post by the official Instagram account of the World Cup winner, it was mentioned that Saudi Arabia has a surprising amount of greenery, and the player loves exploring its unexpected wonders whenever he gets the chance.
On Monday, the Minister of Tourism of Saudi Arabia, Ahmed Al KhateeƄ, warmly received the legendary player in the country.
In a social media message, the Minister expressed his happiness in welcoming Lionel #Messi, who is the Tourism Ambassador for Saudi Arabia, and his family for their second vacation in the country.
“We are delighted to extend our genuine Saudi welcome to all of you.” While the current visit is part of a promotional agreement aimed at showcasing the country’s tourism, there have been long-standing rumors suggesting that football clubs in the nation are interested in signing the former Barcelona star once his contract with PSG expires in the summer. Reports from media outlets indicate that Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal has presented Lionel Messi with an enticing offer.”
According to the report, if the “Æ„Ï…mper offer” is accepted, it will bring a substantial enhancement to the kingdom as it will have the privilege of hosting two football superstars in their professional league tournaments. The idea of Messi and his long-time rival Cristiaпo Roпaldo coming together is an exciting prospect that captivates football enthusiasts worldwide.
Earlier this year, there were sightings of Jorge Horacio, the father and agent of the legendary footballer who has won the prestigious Ballon d’Or award six times, in Riyadh. This unexpected appearance sparked rumors and speculation about potential negotiations for a future transfer.
