The Argentine extreme of PSG, Lionel Messi, blew up social networks by appearing unexpectedly this Monday in Saudi Arabia taking advantage of the day off he had in the Parisian team.
Despite the fact that PSG fell 1-3 at home against Lorient this Sunday, Messi benefited from the time he took advantage of to take a plane and land with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three children Mateo, Thiago and Ciro at the middle eastern nation.
His arrival sparked a series of rumors that claimed that on the 10th of the Albiceleste he had set out on a trip to review the $400 million dollar proposal that Al-Hilal made him to sign a contract once the relationship with PSG ends.
However, the official version indicates that Messi’s arrival in Arabia was to strengthen his relations with the government and meet his commitments as tourism ambassador.
In fact, upon learning of his arrival, the Minister of Tourism, Ahmed Al Khateeb, celebrated the arrival of the star and thanked him for his visit.
“I am pleased to welcome Saudi Arabian Tourism Ambassador Lionel Messi and his family on their second vacation here. We are happy to share our authentic Saudi welcome with all of you,” the official wrote on his Twitter account.
However, the possibility that the footballer also takes advantage of the trip to sit down and talk with the Saudi club is not ruled out. In fact, an avalanche of speculation was unleashed on Twitter with the hashtag #HolaMessi, which made the Argentine a trend for a while. good time.
To date it is unknown what Messi’s future in football will be, but the Argentine has four clear proposals on the table: a renewal with PSG, a possible return to FC Barcelona, a move to Inter Miami CF of the MLS or in failing that, accept the million-dollar offer from Al-Hilal.
