The excitement at the possibility of soccer superstar Lionel Messi joining a team in the Saudi Arabia Pro League swelled on Thursday after it was announced the Argentine would visit the kingdom for a third time in less than a year.<\/p>\n
Messi got the biggest trophy of his career in December last year after lifting the World Cup in Qatar and is out of contract with his current club PSG.<\/p>\n
In the coming months he will have a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al-Khatib.<\/p>\n
“I am happy to welcome our Tourism Ambassador… and his family and friends this month… to enjoy our most beautiful tourism destinations, connect with our people and enjoy unique experiences!” Al-Khatib said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
The oil-rich nation appointed Messi its tourism ambassador last year, and he visited Jeddah in May, before returning in January to play a friendly match with PSG against a team of Saudi League stars, including his old rival Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
