On Monday, Saudi Arabia’s Tourism Minister Ahmed Al-Khateeb wrote on Twitter that he welcomes Argentinian football legend Lionel Messi to the Kingdom.

Saudi media mentioned that Messi is expected to stay in Riyadh for two days, according to an agreement he signed with the Saudi Ministry of Tourism, aimed at promoting tourism in the country.

It is noteworthy that the Saudi tourism ministry had chosen Messi as its ambassador last year.

Two days ago, the Paris Saint-Germain player shared, through his Instagram account, a picture that highlights the beauty of the green nature in Saudi Arabia, and wrote in his post, “Who thought Saudi has so much green? I love to explore its unexpected wonders whenever I can.”

Messi's contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires next summer, and the duo has not yet reached a renewal agreement.

Numerous reports also stated that the world champion is considering returning to his former team, Barcelona, Spain, next season, through a free deal.
